概要	We can control distant tools effectively by manipulating other objects as controllers in various remote-operated ways, even when the two mechanics are altered. To master the remote operation, we may rely on internal representation to organize individual moves of the controller and tool into a set of sequences by mapping the motor space among hand, controller and tool as a continuum. The present study confirmed that monkeys could also organize a sequence by mapping such a motor space or reorganize by remapping even after alteration. In addition, to investigate the neural substrates underlying such mapping/remapping, we measured the regional cerebral blood flow of two monkeys during joystick-controlled operation with alterable function of mechanics using positron emission tomography with. The monkeys were scanned during three different tasks produced by altering the directional gains of the x or y axis of the joystick - the two mechanics are congruent (standard task) and not congruent (reversed in the X or Y axis, X reverse or Y reverse task, respectively). Compared with random movement of the joystick as the control task, increased activities were detected in the prefrontal cortex,
