The ventral premotor cortex (VPC) is involved in the transformation of sensory information
into action, although the exact neuronal operation is not known. We addressed this problem …

The events linking sensory discrimination to motor action remain unclear. It is not known, for
example, whether the motor areas of the frontal lobe receive the result of the discrimination …

Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision
signals, making their causal role in decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior …

Dorsal premotor cortex is implicated in somatomotor decisions. However, we do not
understand the temporal patterns and laminar organization of decision-related firing rates in …

Movement triggered by sensory stimuli requires that the networks generating the motor
commands receive an adequate driving input, which, in general, is a transformed version of …

We used a dynamical systems perspective to understand decision-related neural activity, a
fundamentally unresolved problem. This perspective posits that time-varying neural activity …

Perceptual decisions arise from the activity of neurons distributed across brain circuits. But,
decoding the mechanisms behind this cognitive operation across brain circuits has long …

Our ability to make rapid decisions based on sensory information belies the complexity of
the underlying computations. Recently,“accumulator” models of decision making have been …

A fundamental problem in neurobiology is to understand how brain circuits represent
sensory information and how such representations give rise to perception, memory and …

Recent neurophysiological as well as neuropsychological studies provided evidences on
how various informations are processed to generate motor programs in the central nervous …
