Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble …

The supplementary motor complex consists of the supplementary motor area, the
supplementary eye field and the pre-supplementary motor area. In recent years, these areas …

Music performance is both a natural human activity, present in all societies, and one of the
most complex and demanding cognitive challenges that the human mind can undertake …

The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-
directed behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent …

Much is known about the motor system and its role in simple movement execution. However,
little is understood about the neural systems underlying auditory-motor integration in the …

Although we often encounter circumstances with which we have no prior experience, we
rapidly learn how to behave in these novel situations. Such adaptive behavior relies on …

The dorsal and ventral premotor areas, together with the primary motor cortex, are believed
to have major roles in preparing and executing limb movements. Recent studies have …

Top-down control processes are critical to select goal-directed actions in flexible
environments. In humans, these processes include two inhibitory mechanisms that operate …

Inhibitory mechanisms are critically involved in goal-directed behaviors. To gain further
insight into how such mechanisms shape motor representations during response …

Cerebral Cortex is a comprehensive and detailed work covering the dual nature of the
organization of the architecture and connections of the cerebral cortex. After establishing the …
