Premotor cortex neurons in macaques: activity before distal and proximal forelimb movements
Open accessAbstract
Single unit activity was examined in the premotor cortex of three awake, behaving macaque monkeys. Premotor cortex (PM) neurons were found to be active in association with a movement involving specifically the distal forelimb. Other PM neurons were active in relation to more proximal forelimb movements. The spatial distribution of neurons related to distal movements differed from that of neurons related to proximal forelimb movements, the former being focused at a postarcuate region near the genu of the arcuate sulcus and the latter being shifted more posteromedially. The distal movement was triggered by one of the three sensory signals: visual, auditory, and vibrotactile. Of 190 PM neurons related to the distal forelimb movements, 123 (65%) showed similar premovement activity changes irrespective of the modality of the triggering signal. However, a number of neurons (35%) responded preferentially to one or two of the three signals. The modality-specific activity before movements distinguishes PM from the caudally adjacent primary motor cortex.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
