Using retrograde transneuronal transfer of rabies virus in combination with a conventional tracer, we studied direct and polysynaptic inputs to the ventral lateral intraparietal area (LIPv) and medial intraparietal area (MIP) in non-human primates, to identify possible sources of eye position and gaze signals. 
Using retrograde transneuronal transfer of rabies virus in combination with a conventional tracer (cholera toxin B), we studied simultaneously direct (thalamocortical) and polysynaptic inputs to the ventral lateral intraparietal area (LIPv) and the medial intraparietal area (MIP) in nonhuman primates.
The densest labeling was observed in the medial intraparietal area (MIP).
Here, we examined the reference frame of visual and auditory saccade-related activity in the lateral and medial banks of the intraparietal sulcus (areas lateral intraparietal area [ LIP] and medial intraparietal area [ MIP]) of 2 rhesus monkeys.
The posterior part of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), the putative human homolog of caudal-IPS, was found to be primarily involved in representing the visual location of the tools, whereas more anterior regions, the human homologs of medial intraparietal area and anterior intraparietal, primarily encoded the identity of the contralateral acting-hand.
How are these movements coordinated? To investigate this question, we studied neuronal activity in the dorsal premotor area (PMd) and the medial intraparietal area (area MIP) of two monkeys while systematically varying the starting position of the hand and eye during reaching.
We review here the latest evidence for the existence of the IPS areas AIP (anterior intraparietal area), VIP (ventral intraparietal area), MIP (medial intraparietal area), LIP (lateral intraparietal area) and CIP (caudal intraparietal area) in macaques, and discuss putative human equivalents as assessed with functional magnetic resonance imaging.
We quantified neuronal responses in the ventral intraparietal area and the medial intraparietal area of awake head-fixed macaque monkeys during classical vestibular sinusoidal stimulation protocols and with a newly developed random vestibular testing paradigm.
We examined neuronal signals in the monkey medial superior temporal area (MST), the medial intraparietal area (MIP), and the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) during visually guided hand movements.
The strongest projections to PMd arise from the superior parietal lobule, including the medial intraparietal area (MIP), PEc and PGm, and the parieto-occipital area.
Irrespective of whether injections were made in the centre or periphery, area V6 showed reciprocal connections with areas V1, V2, V3, V3A, V4T, the middle temporal area /V5 (MT/V5), the medial superior temporal area (MST), the medial intraparietal area (MIP), the ventral intraparietal area (VIP), the ventral part of the lateral intraparietal area and the ventral part of area V6A (V6AV).
2) The ventrorostral part of F2 is the target of strong projections from the medial intraparietal area (area MIP) and from the dorsal part of the anterior wall of the parietooccipital sulcus (area V6A).
Visual areas 7m and the medial intraparietal area were labeled from rPMd.
