| Research Abstract |
It has been known that electrical stimulation of the motor-related frontal cortical areas with long pulse trains (~500ms) elicit purposeful movements such as reaching-grasping and bringing hand to mouth in adult macaques. However, if expression of such complex movements by cortical stimulation is innate or developed by postnatal experiences is not clear. We found that such complex behaviors are elicited by cortical stimulation also in the infant macaques. In addition, neuronal input patterns were examined for ‘reaching’ and ‘hand-to-mouth’ areas.
