Abstract
The words “sensory-motor cortex” in this chapter’s title may appear unusual in these days of increasingly finer analysis when it would be more customary to devote individual chapters to each component of this large cortical region. The idea that somatosensory and motor cortex should form some kind of functional unit is now by no means a popular one. The reason for this is hard to determine, as it is difficult to conceive that any motor act is entirely without accompanying sensory phenomena [even allowing for the fact that a certain proportion of motor cortex neurons may not be subjected to immediate sensory feedback (Evarts and Fromm, 1977; see Evarts, this volume)]. Similarly, the involvement of parietal cortex in the analysis of spatial relations and the body image (Mountcastle, 1975) and of premotor cortex in planning movement strategies (Roland et al., 1980), including those into extrapersonal space, implies some kind of relationship between these two and associations between them and somatosensory and primary motor cortex. In view of all this, it does not seem inappropriate to ask: what are the pathways to and from sensory, motor, and premotor cortex; at what levels do they come together; what are the routes of intercommunication between the three cortical regions, and the routes of outflow from them; how does their intrinsic organization reflect the neural processing occurring within them? On account of the functional baseline alluded to above having its origins in human behavior, this chapter will be devoted entirely to the examination of connectivity in the monkey brain. Considerations of many of the comparable features of organization in the brains of cats and rats will be found in the chapters by Zarzecki, Wise and Donoghue, Dykes and Ruest, and Burton.
