Characterization of neurons in the primate medial intraparietal area reveals a joint representation of intended reach direction and amplitude.
To support accurate memory-guided reaching, the brain must represent both the direction and amplitude of reaches in a movement plan. Several cortical areas have been shown to represent the direction of a planned reaching movement, but the neuronal representation of reach amplitude is still unclear,...
