Medial secondary motor cortex (MOs or M2) constitutes the dorsal aspect of the rodent
medial frontal cortex. We previously proposed that the function of MOs is to link antecedent …

Frontal area MOs (secondary motor area) is a key brain structure in rodents for making
decisions based on sensory evidence and on reward value. Its neurons can encode sensory …

In rodents, the medial aspect of the secondary motor cortex (M2) is known by other names,
including medial agranular cortex (AGm), medial precentral cortex (PrCm), and frontal …

The secondary motor cortex (M2) encodes choice-related information and plays an
important role in cue-guided actions. M2 neurons innervate the dorsal striatum (DS), which …

Although the premotor (PM) cortex was once viewed as the substrate of pure motor
functions, soon it was realized that it was involved in higher brain functions. By this it is …

Survival in a dynamic environment requires animals to plan future actions based on past
sensory evidence, known as motor planning. However, the neuronal circuits underlying this …

Motor and premotor cortices are crucial for the control of movements. However, we still know
little about how these areas contribute to higher-order motor control, such as deciding which …

Decision-making is a continuous and dynamic process with prior experience reflected in and
used by the brain to guide adaptive behavior. However, most neurobiological studies …

Previous studies have shown that neural activity in primate dorsal premotor cortex (PMd)
can simultaneously represent multiple potential movement plans, and that activity related to …

A key component of executive control and decision making is the ability to use the
consequences of chosen actions to update and inform the process of future action selection …
