Our understanding of the functions of motor system evolved remarkably in the last 20 years.
This is the consequence not only of an increase in the amount of data on this system but …

The vast majority of functional studies investigating mirror neurons (MNs) explored their
properties in relation to hand actions, and very few investigated how MNs respond to mouth …

Detailed neuroscientific data from macaque monkeys have been essential in advancing
understanding of human frontal cortex function, particularly for regions of frontal cortex …

The insular cortex of macaques has a wide spectrum of anatomical connections whose
distribution is related to its heterogeneous cytoarchitecture. Although there is evidence of a …

We traced the cortical connections of the anterior sector (F5a) of the macaque ventral
premotor (PMv) area F5 and compared them with those of the adjacent F5 sectors, F5c and …

Current knowledge regarding the processing of observed manipulative actions (OMAs)(eg,
grasping, dragging, or dropping) is limited to grasping and underlying neural circuitry …

In primates, different cortical areas send axons of different diameters into comparable tracts,
notably the corpus callosum (Tomasi S, Caminiti R, Innocenti GM. 2012. Areal differences in …

We publish two electrophysiological datasets recorded in motor cortex of two macaque
monkeys during an instructed delayed reach-to-grasp task, using chronically implanted 10 …

The cortical projections to the caudal part of the superior parietal lobule (area PEc) were
studied in 6 cynomolgus monkeys using fluorescence tracers. Significant numbers of …

In 1998 several groups reported the feasibility of fMRI experiments in monkeys, with the goal
to bridge the gap between invasive nonhuman primate studies and human functional …
