[HTML][HTML] How do the two visual streams interact with each other?
AD Milner - Experimental brain research, 2017 - Springer
The current consensus divides primate cortical visual processing into two broad networks or
“streams” composed of highly interconnected areas (Milner and Goodale 2006, 2008; …

[HTML][HTML] Interactions between dorsal and ventral streams for controlling skilled grasp
V Van Polanen, M Davare - Neuropsychologia, 2015 - Elsevier
The two visual systems hypothesis suggests processing of visual information into two distinct
routes in the brain: a dorsal stream for the control of actions and a ventral stream for the …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging reveals the neural substrates of arm transport and grip formation in reach-to-grasp actions in humans
Picking up a cup requires transporting the arm to the cup (transport component) and
preshaping the hand appropriately to grasp the handle (grip component). Here, we used …

[HTML][HTML] From observed action identity to social affordances
Others' observed actions cause continuously changing retinal images, making it challenging
to build neural representations of action identity. The monkey anterior intraparietal area …

[HTML][HTML] Interactions between areas of the cortical grasping network
Skilled grasp is a sensorimotor process requiring the brain to extract sensory cues from the
environment to shape a motor command. Although a large body of literature has focused on …

Dissociating the role of prefrontal and premotor cortices in controlling inhibitory mechanisms during motor preparation
Top-down control processes are critical to select goal-directed actions in flexible
environments. In humans, these processes include two inhibitory mechanisms that operate …
