Although the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) are thought to
be involved in goal-directed behavior, the specific roles of each area still remain elusive. To …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is deemed to underlie the complexity, flexibility, and goal-
directedness of primates' behavior. Most neurophysiological studies performed so far …

We compared how neurons in the dorsal and ventral regions of the dorsolateral prefrontal
cortex (dl-PFC) participate in processing 2 sets of sensory signals, given at intervals, to …

Lines of evidence indicate that both the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC)(areas 45/12)
and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd)(rostral F2 in area 6) are crucially involved in conditional …

The dorsal premotor cortex residing in the dorsolateral aspect of area 6 is a rostrocaudally
elongated area that is rostral to the primary motor cortex (M1) and caudal to the prefrontal …

The functional roles of the primate posterior medial prefrontal cortex have remained largely
unknown. Here, we show that this region participates in the regulation of actions in the …

Goal‐directed action refers to selecting behaviors based on the expectation that they will be
reinforced with desirable outcomes. It is typically conceptualized as opposing habit‐based …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPF) plays a fundamental role in planning, organizing, and
optimizing behavioral performance. Neuroanatomical and neurophysiological studies have …

Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

To make deliberate decisions, we have to utilize detailed information about the environment
and our internal states. The ventral visual pathway provides detailed information on object …
