Table of Contents:
  • Cortical processing of tactile information in the first somatosensory and parietal association areas in the monkey
  • Neural processing of temporally-ordered somesthetic input: remaining capacity in monkeys following lesions of the parietal lobe
  • Effects of parietal lobe cooling on manipulative behaviour in the conscious monkey
  • Short-latency peripheral afferents inputs to pyramidal and other neurones in the precentral cortex of conscious monkeys
  • Motor cortex responses to kinesthetic inputs during postural stability, precise fine movement and ballistic movement in the conscious monkey
  • Movement performance and afferent projections to the sensorimotor cortex in monkeys with dorsal column lesions
  • Role of active movement in control of afferent input from skin in cat and man
