The interception of moving targets is a complex activity that involves a dynamic interplay of several perceptual and motor processes and therefore involves a rich interaction among several brain areas. Although the behavioral aspects of interception have been studied for the past three decades, it is only during the past decade that neural studies have been focused on this problem. In addition to the interception itself, several neural studies have explored, within that context, the underlying mechanisms concerning perceptual aspects of moving stimuli, such as optic flow and apparent motion. In this review, we discuss the wealth of knowledge that has accumulated on this topic with an emphasis on the results of neural studies in behaving monkeys.
对移动目标的拦截是一项复杂的活动，涉及多个感知和运动过程的动态相互作用，因此涉及多个脑区之间的丰富互动。尽管在过去三十年中已经对拦截的行为方面进行了研究，但直到过去十年，神经学研究才开始关注这个问题。除了拦截本身，一些神经学研究还在这一背景下探讨了与移动刺激的感知方面相关的潜在机制，如光流和表观运动。在这篇综述中，我们将讨论在这个主题上积累的丰富知识，重点是对行为猴子进行神经学研究的结果。
