Description for The Anatomy of Manual Dexterity. New Connectivity of the Primate Sensorimotor Thalamus and Cerebral Cortex.
Paperback. This review is focused on the topography and connections of some of the neuron populations that determine the manual dexterity of the Macaque monkey. The text critically examines some of the new ideas triggered by observing the monkeys over the last decade. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 150 pages, 18 colour illustrations, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAN; PSVD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 8.

1. 1 Purpose and Plan of This Review This review is focused on the topography and connections of some of the neuron populations that determine the manual dexterity of the macaque monkey. The populations selected for examination are the following: 1. The corticospinal neuron populations 2. The thalamocortical and corticothalamic neuron populations associated with the sensorimotor cortex 3. The ipsilateral cortical connections of the sensorimotor cortex These neuron populations have been chosen because of their obvious rel evance to the directed, intelligent use of the hands, but also because of their anatomical and functional interdependence. Corticospinal neuron populations transmit a ... Read more
