The cortical visual system is almost universally thought to be segregated into two
anatomically and functionally distinct pathways: a ventral occipitotemporal pathway that …

Highlights•Provides an up-to-date overview of human brain areas implicated in
actions.•Reviews new advances from brain decoding (multivariate pattern analysis …

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 …

How and where in the human brain high-level sensorimotor processes such as intentions
and decisions are coded remain important yet essentially unanswered questions. This is in …

In primates, control of the limb depends on many cortical areas. Whereas specialized
parietofrontal circuits have been proposed for different movements in macaques, functional …

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

Sophisticated tool use is a defining characteristic of the primate species but how is it
supported by the brain, particularly the human brain? Here we show, using functional MRI …

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 …

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 …

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 …
