The three viewpoints are mutually compatible and may fit into a larger pattern. Eye-centered representations of target position, and body-centered representations of arm and hand position, may be integrated to form a hand-centered representation close to the output stage in caudal premotor and primary motor cortex. }, year = {2001}, journal = {Reviews in the Neurosciences}, volume = {12}, pages = {175-185}, issn = {0334-1763}, url = {https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/revneuro.2001.12.2/revneuro.2001.12.2.175/revneuro.2001.12.2.175.xml}, language = {eng}, }
