We investigated the patterns of corticospinal projection to different segments of the cervical
spinal cord using retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish�…

Skilled use of tools requires us to learn an “input-output map” for the device, ie, how our
movements relate to the actions of the device. We used the paradigm of visuo-motor rotation�…

1. We recorded the activity of dentate neurons while monkeys (n= 2) performed sequential
pointing movements under two task conditions: visually guided and remembered. For both�…

Consensus is rapidly building to support a role for the cerebellum beyond motor function, but
its contributions to non-motor learning remain poorly understood. Here, we provide�…

A major challenge in systems neuroscience is to unravel the complex matrix of connections
that characterize functional circuits within the central nervous system. Retrograde�…

We asked human subjects to make accurate step-tracking movements of the wrist to targets
that required 5 degrees-30 degrees of radial or ulnar deviation. Speed instructions were�…

Study of the normal cyto-and myeloarchitecture of the cat ventrolateral nucleus of the
thalamus (VL) reveals that it can be divided into a dorsal and ventral zone. The dorsal VL�…

In this chapter, we briefly present some of our recent anatomical results on the macro-
organization of the circuits that link the basal ganglia with the skeletomotor areas in the�…

Even the simplest movements are generated by a remarkably complex pattern of muscle
activity. Fast, accurate movements at a single joint are produced by a stereotyped pattern�…
