Distinct patterns of whole-body coding in human motor cortex and posterior parietal cortex

2025-08-06

Abstract excerpt

Traditional views of cortical motor areas hold that movements of different parts of the body, or effectors, are represented in distinct anatomical locations. The extent of overlap in effector representations has been a topic of debate for decades. We recorded from single neurons in 'hand areas' of motor cortex (MC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of tetraplegic humans while they attempted movements across the...
