Short parietal lobe connections of the human and monkey brain

M Catani, N Robertsson, A Beyh, V Huynh… - cortex, 2017 - Elsevier
The parietal lobe has a unique place in the human brain. Anatomically, it is at the crossroad
between the frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes, thus providing a middle ground for …

Position-dependent torque coupling and associated muscle activation in the hemiparetic upper extremity

MD Ellis, AM Acosta, J Yao, JPA Dewald - Experimental brain research, 2007 - Springer
Previous studies have demonstrated abnormal joint torque coupling and associated muscle
coactivations of the upper extremity in individuals with unilateral stroke. We investigated the …

Human dorsomedial parieto-motor circuit specifies grasp during the planning of goal-directed hand actions

M Vesia, M Barnett-Cowan, B Elahi, G Jegatheeswaran… - Cortex, 2017 - Elsevier

Distinct influence of hand posture on cortical activity during human grasping

MA Perez, JC Rothwell - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
We recently showed that subcortical circuits contribute to control the gain of motor cortical
inputs to spinal motoneurons during precision grip of a small object. Here, we examine …
