Dissociable contribution of the parietal and frontal cortex to coding movement direction and amplitude

Dissociable contribution of the parietal and frontal cortex to coding movement direction and amplitude

To reach for an object, we must convert its spatial location into an appropriate motor command, merging movement direction and amplitude. In humans, it has been suggested that this visuo-motor transformation occurs in a dorsomedial parieto-frontal pathway, although the causal contribution of the are...
