The fine graded usage of the hand is a remarkable skill of humans. Even primates are not able to use their hands in a similar skilled fashion. The ability to use the fingers with high precision is thought to require close interaction between the motor and the sensory systems. In humans, unlike in other mammals, the layer V pyramidal cells of the primary motor cortex controlling hand muscles project monosynapticly onto the spinal motor neurons. However, it is still not fully understood, how sensory feedback modulates motor commands in demanding sensory-motor tasks. This is due to the fact, that there is no approa…
