Summary

VL neurons are unlike many motor cortex arm area neurons which are responsive to passive manipulation and are influenced at short latency by similar perturbations to the animal's limb, which suggests that VL neurons might play a role in initiating activity in muscles concerned with controlling body posture, as well as those involved in discrete limb movements.
