Neuropsychological and neuroimaging data suggest a differential contribution of posterior
parietal regions during the different components of a transitive gesture. Reaching requires …

The development of the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the study of
psychological functions has entered a new phase of sophistication. This is largely due to an …

Unlike brain regions that respond selectively to specific kinds of information content, a
number of frontal and parietal regions are thought to be domain-and process-general: that …

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays an important role in the planning and control of goal-
directed action. Single-unit studies in monkeys have identified reach-specific areas in the …

Planning object-directed hand actions requires successful integration of the movement goal
with the acting limb. Exactly where and how this sensorimotor integration occurs in the brain …

Much of the central nervous system is involved in visuomotor transformations for goal-
directed gaze and reach movements. These transformations are often described in terms of …

Like in macaque, the caudal portion of the human superior parietal lobule (SPL) plays a key
role in a series of perceptive, visuomotor and somatosensory processes. Here, we review …

Our present understanding of the neural mechanisms and sensorimotor transformations that
govern the planning of arm and eye movements predominantly come from invasive parieto …

The superior parietal lobule of the macaque monkey occupies the postero-medial part of the
parietal lobe and plays a crucial role in the integration of different sources of information …

Optic ataxia is a high-order deficit in reaching to visual goals that occurs with posterior
parietal cortex (PPC) lesions. It is a component of Balint's syndrome that also includes …
