Neural control of saccades and grasping movements towards objects in space KU Leuven
The posterior parietal cortex is important for sensory-motor integration. While the anterior part of the intraparietal sulcus (AIP) is involved in object grasping and stereo processing (Gallese et al., 1994; Durand et al., 2007), a more posterior part (lateral intraparietal area, LIP) has typically been implicated in attention and saccades (Colby et al., 1996; Corbetta and Shulman, 2002). Furthermore, both areas show selectivity for simple 2D ...
