Coupling of head and hand movements during eye-head-hand coordination: there is more to reaching than meets eye

Does arm reaching affect eye-head shifts? Does the head alter eye-hand coordinated movements? Sensorimotor research has focused on either eye-head or eye-hand coordination, with only occasional works studying all these effectors together. Arora et al. (Arora HK, Bharmauria V, Yan X, Sun S, Wang H, Crawford JD. J Neurophysiol 122: 1946-1961, 2019) examined eye-head-hand coordination for the first time in nonhuman primates and provide evidence suggesting that head and hand movements are more coupled than traditionally considered.
