Abstract
Neuron activity was recorded in monkey cerebral cortex during a visually guided reaching task. Cells located in the banks of the arcuate sulcus at its curvature changed their activity during the period in which the monkey saw a food reward in a certain position, but before it moved to retrieve the reward. A role of these neurons in visual guidance of arm and hand movements is postulated.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
