Neural Integration Insights
Visual neurons in the posterior parietal cortex exhibit fascinating behavior, expanding their receptive fields when a tool is grasped, indicating a blend of sensory input and motor intention. This integration allows for a nuanced understanding of how visual perception and motor actions interact, as neurons respond differently based on the monkey's focus and intended movements. The discussion highlights the complexity of motor control and sensory integration within the brain's architecture.In this clip

Do you have anything to add to the statement: "We have a map of visual space. Certain neurons are seeing things in certain portions of visual space and not others. We have a map of motor space, meaning when we move our limbs in particular directions, we know where those limbs are because even if we can't see them, we have what's called proprioceptive feedback. So we have knowledge about where our limbs are. Our maps of the motor world and our maps of the sensory world are merged" from the episode Using Failures, Movement & Balance to Learn Faster | Huberman Lab Podcast #7 and the clip Sensory Map Alignment?
