Neural preconfigured activity patterns (nPAPs) have been proposed as building blocks for
cognitive and sensory processing. However, their existence and function in motor networks …

Oscillatory neural activity in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical (CBGTC) loop is
associated with the motor state of a subject, but also with the availability of modulatory …

Novelty detection is a primitive subcomponent of cognitive control that can be deficient in
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Here, we studied the corticostriatal mechanisms …

Activity across prefrontal cortical populations represents stimuli in a low-dimensional
manifold that often undergoes transformations during the execution of cognitive tasks. These …

Rapid reconfigurations of brain activity support efficient neuronal communication and
flexible behaviour. Suboptimal brain dynamics is associated to impaired adaptability …

The ventral premotor cortex (PMv) is an important component of cortico-cortical pathways
mediating prefrontal control over primary motor cortex (M1) function. Paired associative …

Behavioural flexibility is essential for everyday life. This involves shifting attention between
different perspectives. Previous studies suggest that flexibility is mainly subserved by the …

Performing several actions in swift succession is often necessary to exploit known
contingencies in the environment. However, in order to remain successful when contingency …

Goal-directed motor behavior is associated with changes in patterns of rhythmic neuronal
activity across widely distributed brain areas. In particular, movement initiation and …

Ongoing communication between cortex and thalamus plays an important role in cognition,
sensation, and motor function. The synaptic basis of cortico-thalamocortical interactions has …
