Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to plan in tasks
previously thought to be uniquely human. Meanwhile, the planning algorithms implemented …

The prefrontal cortex participates in a variety of higher cognitive functions. The concept of
working memory is now widely used to understand prefrontal functions. Neurophysiological …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

The neural bases of behavior are often discussed in terms of perceptual, cognitive, and
motor stages, defined within an information processing framework that was originally …

At every moment, the natural world presents animals with two fundamental pragmatic
problems: selection between actions that are currently possible and specification of the …

We show that while a primate chooses between two reaching actions, its motor system first
represents both options and later reflects selection between them. When two potential …

The frontal cortex and the basal ganglia interact via a relatively well understood and
elaborate system of interconnections. In the context of motor function, these interconnections …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Executive function is considered to be a product of the coordinated operation of various
processes to accomplish a particular goal in a flexible manner. The mechanism or system …

The largest part of the primate prefrontal cortex has no homolog in other mammals.
Accordingly, it probably confers some advantage that other mammals either lack or attain …
