rTMS over the human medial parietal cortex impairs online reaching corrections

This study provides evidence of the functional relevance of hV6A in action reprogramming while a sudden event requires a change in performance and shows that hV6A also plays a role in state estimation during reaching. These findings are in line with neurological data showing impairments in actions performed along the distance dimension when lesions occur in the dorsal posterior parietal cortex.PMID:38141108 | DOI:10.1007/s00429-023-02735-7
