The Role of the Sensorimotor System in Cognitive Functions

Brain Sci. 2022 May 5;12(5):604. doi: 10.3390/brainsci12050604.

Abstract

The discovery of neurons with sensory properties in frontal motor circuits, and the discovery that these circuits send modulatory signals to the sensory parietal areas, strongly challenged the classical idea of a motor system as a mere executor of commands, and suggested that the sensorimotor system may contribute to the cognitive processes necessary for interaction with the world [...].
