Visual information from the primary visual cortex (V1) is transformed in the parietal reach region (PRR) to guide reaching movements via the dorsal premotor area (PMd). Similarly, the anterior interparietal area (AIP) processes visual information about object shape to guide grasping movements via the ventral premotor area (PMv). The PMv and the PMd both project to the primary motor cortex (M1).
