Neuronal activity in the primate supplementary motor area and the primary motor cortex in relation to spatio-temporal bimanual coordination.
TL;DR: The results suggest that both the SMA and M1 may contribute to the control of sequential bimanual coordinated movements, but the contribution of other cortical and subcortical areas such as cingulate motor cortex and basal ganglia remains to be investigated.

Effects of reversible inactivation of the supplementary motor area (SMA) on unimanual grasp and bimanual pull and grasp performance in monkeys.
TL;DR: The SMA plays a crucial and specific role in initiation of self-paced movement sequences and inactivation did not prevent the monkeys to perform coordinated movements of the two forelimbs and hands, indicating that SMA is not necessary for bimanual coordination.
