R EVIEW How are visual areas of the connected to motor areas for the sensory guidance of movement?

Mitchell Glickstein

Visual areas of the brain must be connected to motor areas for the sensory guidance of movement.The first step in the pathway from the primary visual is by way of the dorsal stream of visual areas in the parietal .The fact that monkeys can still guide their limbs visually after cortico–cortical fibres have been severed suggests that there are subcortical routes that link visual and motor areas of the brain.The pathway that runs from the pons and is the largest of these. Pontine cells that receive inputs from visual cortical areas or the respond vigorously to appropriate visual stimuli and project widely on the cerebellar cortex. A challenge for future research is to elucidate the role of these cerebellar target areas in visuo–motor control. Trends Neurosci. (2000) 23, 613–617

We sug- gested that an important function of the parietal lobe visual areas might be in the visual control of movement, based on its anatomical connections to the cerebellum (Fig. 2). Although visually guided movement of the wrist R a c R and fingers of monkeys is impaired following par- ietal lobe lesions, control lesions of the or peri-arcuate cortex produce little or no a impairment. The evidence is now clear that the first a step in the pathway that links visual to motor corti- c cal areas is by way of the dorsal stream of extrastri- ate visual areas, because lesions of these areas in fe fe monkeys profoundly impair visual guidance of movement14.

Indeed lesions of the dorsal stream visual areas are so severe in their effects on visual control of movement that Ferrier16,17 initially misinterpreted these effects in monkeys as blindness (Fig. 3). Almost identical deficits in visually guided movement are present in humans after lesions of analogous extra- striate cortical visual areas18,19.
