fMRI Adaptation Reveals a Cortical Mechanism for the Coding of Space Near the Hand
Open accessAbstract
Behavioral studies in humans and electrophysiological recordings in nonhuman primates have suggested the existence of a specific representation of the space immediately surrounding the body. In macaques, neurons that have visual receptive fields limited to a region of space close around a body part have been found in premotor and parietal areas. These cells are hypothesized to encode the location of external objects in coordinate systems that are centered on individual body parts. In the present study, we used an fMRI adaptation paradigm on healthy participants to reveal areas in the anterior part of the intraparietal sulcus, the inferior parietal lobe (supramarginal gyrus), and the dorsal and ventral portions of the premotor cortex that exhibit selective BOLD adaptation to an object moving near the right hand. Crucially, these areas did not manifest adaptation if the stimulus was presented in far space (100 cm) or when the hand was retracted from the object. This hand-centered selectivity could not be detected when a traditional fMRI analysis approach was used. These findings are important as they provide the most conclusive neuroimaging evidence to date for a representation of near-personal space in the human brain. They also demonstrate a selective mechanism implemented by human perihand neurons in the premotor and posterior parietal areas and add to earlier findings from humans and nonhuman primates.

“In humans, neuroimaging studies revealed that PPS network includes frontoparietal regions and the putamen (Brozzoli et al, 2011(Brozzoli et al, , 2012(Brozzoli et al, , 2014;;Bremmer et al., 2001;Cl ery et al., 2015;Gentile et al., 2011;Grivaz et al., 2017;Sereno & Huang, 2006) and is thought to represent a putative homologue of the premotor-parietal PPS network described in monkeys.”

In the citing paper
“Human fMRI studies focused on the PPS around the hand have demonstrated co-activation of the putamen with PMV and IPS, suggesting that the PMV-IPS-putamen circuitry may mediate multisensory representations of PPS around the hand (Gentile et al. 2011; Brozzoli et al. 2011)”

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.
