Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we examined the signal
in parietal regions that were selectively activated during delayed
pointing to flashed visual targets and determined whether this signal
was dependent on the fixation position of the eyes. Delayed pointing
activated a bilateral parietal area in the intraparietal sulcus (rIPS),
rostral/anterior to areas activated by saccades. During right-hand
pointing to centrally located targets, the left rIPS region showed a
significant increase in activation when the eye position was rightward
compared with leftward. As expected, activation in motor cortex showed
no modulation when only eye position changed. During pointing to
retinotopically identical targets, the left rIPS region again showed a
significant increased signal when the eye position was rightward
compared with leftward. Conversely, when pointing with the left arm,
the right rIPS showed an increase in signal when eye position was
leftward compared with rightward. The results suggest that the human
parietal hand/arm movement region (rIPS), like monkey parietal areas
(Andersen et al., 1985), exhibits an eye position modulation of its
activity; modulation that may be used to transform the coordinates of
the retinotopically coded target position into a motor error command appropriate for the wrist.
