The premotor cortex of the monkey
M Weinrich and SP Wise
The relationship of single unit activity to limb movements guided by
visuospatial cues supports the view that the premotor cortex is a distinct
cortical field within the somatic sensorimotor cortex. The premotor cortex
is similar to the precentral motor cortex (MI) in that most of its units
are clearly related to voluntary movements but differs from MI by its
higher threshold for microstimulation-evoked movements, its
cytoarchitecture, and the presence of a larger population of neurons with
activity related to the occurrence of visuospatial signals rather than, or
in addition to, the movement cued by those signals.
