Ipsilateral Cortical Connections of Dorsal and Ventral Premotor Areas in New World Owl Monkeys THE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY 495:691–708 (2006) Ipsilateral Cortical Connections of Dorsal and Ventral Premotor Areas in New World Owl Monkeys IWONA STEPNIEWSKA,1 TODD M.

Motor areas and injection sites were defined by patterns of movements electrically evoked from the cortex with microelec- trodes. Labeled neurons and axon terminals were located in brain sections cut either in the coronal plane or parallel to the surface of flattened cortex, and they related to architectoni- cally and electrophysiologically defined cortical areas. Both the PMV and PMD had connec- tions with the primary motor cortex (M1), the supplementary motor area (SMA), cingulate motor areas, somatosensory areas S2 and PV, and the posterior parietal cortex. Only the PMV had connections with somatosensory areas 3a, 1, 2, PR, and PV. The PMD received inputs from more caudal portions of the cortex of the lateral sulcus and more medial portions of the posterior parietal cortex than the PMV. The PMD and PMV were only weakly interconnected. New World owl monkeys, Old World macaque monkeys, and galagos share a number of PMV and PMD connections, suggesting preservation of a common sensorimotor network from early primates. Comparisons of PMD and PMV connectivity with the cortex of the lateral sulcus and posterior parietal cortex of owl monkeys, galagos, and macaques help identify areas that could be homologous. J.

Experimental design: Participants were engaged in antisaccade performance (gener- ating a glance away from a cue) while fMR images were acquired during two separate test sessions: (1) at pre-test before any exposure to the task and (2) at post-test, after 1 week of daily practice on antisac- cades, prosaccades (glancing toward a target), or fixation (maintaining gaze on a target). Principal obser- vations: The three practice groups were compared across the two test sessions, and analyses were conducted via the application of a model-free clustering technique based on wavelet analysis. This se- ries of procedures was developed to avoid analysis problems inherent in fMRI data and was composed of several steps: detrending, data aggregation, wavelet transform and thresholding, no trend test, prin- cipal component analysis (PCA), and K-means clustering.

  • Functional Role of the Supplementary and Pre-Supplementary Motor Areas
    REVIEWS Functional role of the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas Parashkev Nachev*‡, Christopher Kennard‡ and Masud Husain* Abstract | The supplementary motor complex consists of the supplementary motor area, the supplementary eye field and the pre-supplementary motor area. In recent years, these areas have come under increasing scrutiny from cognitive neuroscientists, motor physiologists and clinicians because they seem to be crucial for linking cognition to action. However, theories regarding their function vary widely. This Review brings together the data regarding the supplementary motor regions, highlighting outstanding issues and providing new perspectives for understanding their functions. Ever since they were first identified, the regions that which we hope will stimulate the development of comprise the supplementary motor complex (SMC) have conceptual frameworks for a better understanding remained, in large part, a mystery.

  • Eye Fields in the Frontal Lobes of Primates
    Brain Research Reviews 32Ž. 2000 413±448 www.elsevier.comrlocaterbres Full-length review Eye fields in the frontal lobes of primates Edward J. Tehovnik ), Marc A. Sommer, I-Han Chou, Warren M. Slocum, Peter H. Schiller Department of Brain and CognitiÕe Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, E25-634, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Accepted 19 October 1999 Abstract Two eye fields have been identified in the frontal lobes of primates: one is situated dorsomedially within the frontal cortex and will be referred to as the eye field within the dorsomedial frontal cortexŽ. DMFC ; the other resides dorsolaterally within the frontal cortex and is commonly referred to as the frontal eye fieldŽ. FEF . This review documents the similarities and differences between these eye fields. Although the DMFC and FEF are both active during the execution of saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements, the FEF is more dedicated to these functions. Lesions of DMFC minimally affect the production of most types of saccadic eye movements and have no effect on the execution of smooth pursuit eye movements. In contrast, lesions of the FEF produce deficits in generating saccades to briefly presented targets, in the production of saccades to two or more sequentially presented targets, in the selection of simultaneously presented targets, and in the execution of smooth pursuit eye movements. For the most part, these deficits are prevalent in both monkeys and humans. Single-unit recording experiments have shown that the DMFC contains neurons that mediate both limb and eye movements, whereas the FEF seems to be involved in the execution of eye movements only.

A monkey with a unilateral lesion of the premotor area (PM) served as a control. In all animals, general behavior was unaffected by the lesions. For a few weeks postoperatively, all monkeys showed a clumsiness of forelimb movements, bilaterally, which involved both the distal and proximal muscles. Two SMA-lesioned monkeys (but not the PM-lesioned one), studied for up to 1 year postoperatively, showed a characteristic deficit of bimanual coordination where the two hands tended to behave in a similar manner instead of sharing the task between them. This deficit was more pronounced after a lesion contralateral to the nonpreferred hand. The deficit was interpreted as indicating that the intact SMA now influenced the motor outflow of both the ipsilateral hemisphere and the contralateral one through the corpus callosum. Callosal section immediately abolished the bimanual deficit, although the clumsiness returned transiently. The results imply that SMA may give rise normally to discharges informing the contralateral hemisphere of intended and/or ongoing movements via the corpus callosum.
