This project studies the posterior parietal cortex in rodents to understand its role in motor planning and action observation. It employs optogenetics to investigate the neural circuits involved in these cognitive functions.
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) mediates cognitive motor functions including motor planning and action understanding.
The latter process is thought to occur via ‘mirror’ neurons, which fire both when an animal performs an action and when it observes a cohort performing the same action.
The extraordinary tuning properties of PPC cells require the convergence of sensory and motor inputs from several areas, but the function of these inputs is ill-defined since it is not yet feasible in humans o…
