Three-dimensional shape coding in grasping circuits: a comparison between the Anterior Intraparietal area and ventral premotor area F5a KU Leuven
Depth information is necessary for adjusting the hand to the three-dimensional shape of an object in order to grasp it. The transformation of visual information into appropriate distal motor commands is critically dependent on the Anterior IntraParietal area (AIP) and the ventral premotor cortex (area F5), particularly the F5p sector. Recent studies have demonstrated that both AIP and the F5a sector of the ventral premotor cortex contain neurons ...
