4 unusual facts about Michael Graziano


Body schema

As shown by Graziano and colleagues, the visual receptive field will update with arm movement, translating through space as the arm moves.

Motor cortex

The clearest example of the coordination of muscles into complex movement in the motor cortex comes from the work of Graziano and colleagues on the monkey brain.

Premotor cortex

Graziano and colleagues suggested an alternative principle of organization for the primary motor cortex and the caudal part of the premotor cortex, all regions that project directly to the spinal cord and that were included in the Penfield and Woolsey definition of M1.

Supplementary motor area

The locomotion hypothesis is an example of interpreting the motor cortex in terms of the underlying behavioral repertoire from which abstract control functions emerge, an approach emphasized by Graziano and colleagues.
