Distinctive effects of the left or right PMv or PMd inactivation on the grip–lift movement. Virtual lesions of PMv specifically altered the grasping phase of grip–lift movement, whereas lesions of the left PMd only affected the lifting phase. Histograms showing the dissociation between the effects of virtual lesions of the left and right PMv (light gray) and PMd (dark gray) when compared with the control condition (white) for four movement parameters: A, the delay between the intrinsic hand muscle recruitment, i.e., the APB and 1DI; B, the index–thumb horizontal distance (Ind-Th H dist); C, the BrR muscle onset; and D, the preloading phase duration. *p < 0.05
