An investigation of the neural circuits underlying reaching and reach-to-grasp movements: from planning to execution.

An investigation of the neural circuits underlying reaching and reach-to-grasp movements: from planning to execution.

Experimental evidence suggests the existence of a sophisticated brain circuit specifically dedicated to reach-to-grasp planning and execution, both in human and non human primates (Castiello, 2005). Studies accomplished by means of neuroimaging techniques suggest the hypothesis of a dichotomy betwee...
