Sensorimotor transformation of number in the primate parietal cortex.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The neuronal mechanisms by which the brain flexibly transforms perceived numerical values into corresponding numbers of self-generated actions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated this sensorimotor transformation process in the parietal cortex of two male rhesus macaques performing a manual counting task. Monkeys viewed visual numerical cues and produced a corresponding number of hand movements. Single-neuron recordings from the ventral intraparietal area (VIP)-a region known to represent perceived numerosity-revealed tuning to the number of intended actions during motor planning. These neurons showed both sustained and transient activity patterns, reflecting static and dynamic codes that support numerical sensorimotor transformation. Population decoding confirmed that VIP encoded intended action number and reflected systematic over- and underestimation errors. Our findings reveal a neural mechanism by which the primate brain converts abstract numerical input into goal-directed motor output, providing insight into the sensorimotor foundations of numerical cognition.
