title: Peripheral inputs and early unit activity in area 5 of the monkey during a trained forelimb movement.
abstract: Previous studies on area 5 in the monkey showed that an early neuronal activity up to 300 ms before the onset of movement was encountered in this cortical area after deafferentation of the trained forelimb (C1-T7). This present work indicates that none of the EMG activity recorded in other parts of the body may account for these early changes and lends weight to the hypothesis that their activation is purely central.
