Advances in our understanding of brain function, along with the development of neural
interfaces that allow for the monitoring and activation of neurons, have paved the way for …

The estimated values of choices, and therefore decision-making based on those values, are
influenced by both the chance that the chosen items or goods can be obtained (availability) …

Traditional and new disciplines converge in suggesting that the parietal lobe underwent a
considerable expansion during human evolution. Through the study of endocasts and shape …

Others' observed actions cause continuously changing retinal images, making it challenging
to build neural representations of action identity. The monkey anterior intraparietal area …

Mountcastle and colleagues proposed that the posterior parietal cortex contains a
“command apparatus” for the operation of the hand in immediate extrapersonal space …

When we interact with the environment around us, we are sometimes active participants,
making directed physical motor movements and other times only mentally engaging with our …

A successor to the acclaimed Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex, Understanding the
Prefrontal Cortex presents a careful study of the anatomical connections in this brain region …

Three large-scale networks are considered essential to cognitive flexibility: the ventral and
dorsal attention (VANet and DANet) and salience (SNet) networks. The ventrolateral …

Classical neurophysiology suggests that the motor cortex (MI) has a unique role in action
control. In contrast, this review presents evidence for multiple parieto-frontal spinal …

The vast majority of functional studies investigating mirror neurons (MNs) explored their
properties in relation to hand actions, and very few investigated how MNs respond to mouth …
