Functional properties of the injected areas.
| Area | Properties |
|---|---|
| PF | Organization of eating behavior. Somatosensory information instrumental to the execution of appropriate food-related or explorative mouth motor acts1 |
| PFG | Organization of hand and hand-to-mouth actions, aimed to manipulate and interact with objects on the basis of their physical properties, their location in peripersonal space and their behavioral value1 |
| PG | Organization and control of “reaching-with-the arm and the eye” at the limit between the peri- and extrapersonal space, on the basis of several visual information about the position, motion, and behavioral values of the target stimuli1 |
| Opt | Coding of eye- and arm-directional visuomotor signals. Integration and transformation of retinal and extra-retinal signals to head-, body- or world-centered coordinates2 |
| PEc | Somatosensory and visuomotor processing for the early stages of motor control for arm movements toward targets in the peripersonal space3 |
