Entry routes and integration mechanisms for movement data in the neocortex

Identify the anatomical pathways by which movement-related signals enter the neocortex and ascertain the mechanisms by which these motion signals are integrated with sensory input during cortical processing.

Background

The authors emphasize that accurate perception requires integrating sensor movement with sensory input, yet the field lacks clarity about how and where this movement information reaches cortical circuits and how it is combined with sensory signals.

They propose a sensorimotor framework in which each cortical column integrates sensory and movement information, but explicitly acknowledge that the entry routes and integration mechanisms for motion data in the neocortex are not clearly established.
