Trajectory-selective neuronal activity in the motor cortex of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
Neuronal activity recorded in the primate motor cortex reflected movement parameters in addition to the distance and direction of a target. These neurons may reflect the selection, from memory, of a detailed movement trajectory to be executed in response to visuospatial instructions.
