The medial fronto-parietal network of the macaque: Different specializations for spatial parameters of reaching? by Marina De Vitis, Matteo Filippini, Kostas Hadjidimitrakis, Francesco Edoardo Vaccari, Stefano Diomedi, Michela Gamberini, Martina Gori, Michele Testa, Claudio Galletti, Patrizia Fattori

“…We then compared how various spatial and temporal movement parameters are represented both at the neural and population levels across these two network nodes. Our results reveal that neurons in the medial posterior parietal cortex (mPPC) exhibit sharper spatial tuning, with a particularly robust representation of target depth, compared to the broader, more gradual activation patterns observed in the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). …”
