Prehension, the capacity to reach and grasp, is the key behavior that allows humans to
change their environment. It continues to serve as a remarkable experimental test case for …

Haptic sensing of objects acquires information about a number of properties. This review
summarizes current understanding about how these properties are processed in the …

Mountcastle and colleagues proposed that the posterior parietal cortex contains a
“command apparatus” for the operation of the hand in immediate extrapersonal space …

The tactile perception of the shape of objects critically guides our ability to interact with them.
In this review, we describe how shape information is processed as it ascends the …

Brodmann's area 5 has traditionally included the rostral bank of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS)
as well as posterior portions of the postcentral gyrus and medial wall. However, different …

Perception of quantities, such as numerosity, timing, and size, is essential for behavior and
cognition. Accumulating evidence demonstrates neurons processing quantities are tuned …

Although the neural underpinnings of visually guided grasping and reaching have been well
delineated within lateral and medial fronto-parietal networks (respectively), the contributions …

Area V6A encodes hand configurations for grasping objects. The aim of the present study
was to investigate whether V6A cells also encode three-dimensional objects, and the …

The visuo‐motor channel hypothesis (Jeannerod, 1981) postulates that grasping
movements consist of a grip and a transport component differing in their reliance on intrinsic …

The current investigation in macaque monkeys utilized long-train intracortical
microstimulation to determine the extent of cortex from which movements could be evoked …
