This book presents a comprehensive account of the regions of the brain that control the
performance of skilled voluntary movements, especially the accurate and precise control of
the use of the fingers and the hand by monkeys and humans. The significance of recent and
clinical observations concerning the details of the cortico-cortical connections that contribute
to the determination of these functions is discussed.
