Abstract
Extracellular unit recording studies in the pulvinar lateral posterior complex (Pul-LP) of behaving monkeys have shown a response property not previously reported. In monkeys performing aimed arm reaching movements towards frontally located targets some cells showed a change in activity beginning 495±84 ms before the onset of the reaching movement. This change in frequency precedes that observed in primary motor and parietal posterior cortex for reaching movements. These findings seem to indicate the involvement of the Pul-LP in motor functions and suggest its possible contribution to motor programming.
