DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The distinction between a ventral visual processing stream devoted to processing object identity and a dorsal stream coding object location and body movements guides two decades of research in perception and action. A number of lines of evidence, including work from our laboratory, suggest that the model requires refinement. This work described in this proposal has two general aims. The first is to develop a model of the action system within a computational framework. The model includes two anatomically and functionally distinct components: the action representation system, mediated by the inferior parietal lobe, and the action execution system, mediated by dorsal stream structures in fronto-parietal cortex. The second general aim is to reconcile a major clinical syndrome, ideomotor apraxia (IM), with recent advances in the cognitive neuroscientific study of action. There are four specific aims. First, we will relate the diverse presentation of IM to the two components of the action system by evaluating a two-subtype model of lM. Second, through study of patients with IM, we will assess the distinction between two types of spatial coding of body position and body movement information. Third, we will assess the roles of objects in performing skilled movements, and the distinctions between object representations used in different contexts. Finally, we will elucidate internal models of movement used in programming actions. The proposed program of research is expected to continue to contribute to our understanding of the relationship of distinct representational and dynamic processing modules in normal and disordered action, and the neuroanatomic substrate for these processes. In addition, it is expected to significantly advance our understanding of lM, a common clinical disorder whose presentation, subtypes, and neuroanatomic substrate remain poorly understood.

描述（由申请人提供）：专门用于处理对象标识的腹侧视觉处理流与背流编码对象位置和身体运动的区别指导感知和动作的二十年研究。许多证据，包括我们实验室的工作，表明该模型需要改进。该提案中描述的这项工作具有两个一般目标。首先是在计算框架内开发动作系统的模型。该模型包括两个在解剖学和功能上不同的组件：下顶叶介导的动作表示系统和动作执行系统，由额叶顶层皮质中的背面结构介导。第二个总体目的是调和主要的临床综合征，意识运动失用（IM），并在认知神经科学研究的作用研究方面取得了最新进展。有四个具体目标。首先，我们将通过评估LM的两种模型来将IM的不同呈现与动作系统的两个组成部分联系起来。其次，通过研究IM患者，我们将评估两种类型的身体位置空间编码和身体运动信息之间的区别。第三，我们将评估对象在执行熟练运动中的作用，以及在不同上下文中使用的对象表示之间的区别。最后，我们将阐明用于编程动作的运动内部模型。预计拟议的研究计划将继续有助于我们理解正常和无序作用中不同代表性和动态处理模块的关系，以及这些过程的神经解剖底物。此外，预计它将显着提高我们对LM的理解，LM是一种常见的临床疾病，其表现，亚型和神经解剖底物的理解仍然很差。
