Simulated trial of the arm-reaching task used by Ohbayashi et al. (2016), in which monkeys were trained to execute internally generated and visually guided movements. The green line shows the optimal hand trajectory to reach the target. The authors reported that disrupting PMd did not result in error and concluded that visually guided movements do not depend on PMd integrity. An alternative explanation is that monkeys initiated a movement with a trajectory that would have resulted in missing the target (red line), but, because the target was constantly present, the monkeys were able to correct the trajectory late in the trial (yellow line).
