Abstract
Many studies during the past 15 years have shown that the direction
of motor output (movement or isometric force) is an important factor
for neuronal activity in the motor cortex, both at the level of single
cells and at the level of neuronal populations. Recent studies have
investigated several new aspects of this problem including the effect
of posture, the relations to time-varying movement parameters (for
example, position, velocity and acceleration) and the cortical representation
of memorized simple movements and complex-movement trajectories.
Furthermore, the neural correlates of directional operations, such
as mental rotation and memory-scanning of visuomotor directions,
have also been investigated. In addition, neural networks have been
used to model dynamic, time-varying, spatial motor trajectories.
