Direction-dependent activation of the insular cortex during vertical and horizontal hand movements

Highlights • The involvement of insular cortex during hand movements is investigated. • Insular cortex is activated during vertical hand movements without vision. • Insular cortex is not activated during horizontal hand movements without vision. • Insular cortex is sensitive to the effects of gravit...
