Tool use is considered to be the hallmark of complex cognitive adaptations that humans
have achieved trough evolution, that provides an adaptive advantage to the human species.
Even if nonhuman species do use tools too, human tool use is much more complex and
sophisticated. If humans have special abilities for tool use, it has to be grounded in a
specific neuroanatomical substrate. Humans and nonhumans share a similar prehension
system located within the superior parietal lobe and the intraparietal sulcus. However,
there is a human specificity: the supramarginal gyrus within the left inferior parietal
lobe is unique to humans, and could play a central role in tool use. This project aims to
study the neurocognitive bases of human tool use with functional Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (fMRI), to precise the cognitive mechanisms through which humans are able to use
tools.
