What is Human Homologue of Macaque Area PEc about?

This study investigates the existence of a human homologue of the macaque area PEc, focusing on leg representations in the human parietal cortex. Using fMRI, the researchers identified a region termed hPEc in the dorsomedial parietal cortex that responds to both arm and leg movements, similar to macaque PEc. The findings suggest that hPEc integrates sensory and motor information for leg movements, supporting its proposed role as the human counterpart to macaque area PEc.
