In human and nonhuman primates, the cortical motor system comprises a collection of brain
areas primarily related to motor control. Existing evidence suggests that no other …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

Highlights•SMA is implicated in response selection and inhibition.•SMA is implicated in
perceptual and motor timing.•SMA amplitude codes for stimulus duration and for error …

It is increasingly clear that memories are distributed across multiple brain areas. Such
“engram complexes” are important features of memory formation and consolidation. Here …

Humans often slow down after mistakes (post-error slowing [PES]), but the neural
mechanism and adaptive role of PES remain controversial. We studied changes in the …

In uncertain environments, decision-makers must balance two goals: they must" exploit"
rewarding options but also" explore" in order to discover rewarding alternatives. Exploring …

The evolution of the fovea centralis, the most central part of the retina and the area of the
highest visual accuracy, requires humans to shift their gaze rapidly (saccades) to bring some …

This review surveys how vision becomes action through the frontal lobe. Signals from
extrastriate areas create maps in frontal areas. These maps are shaped by visual features …

The medial frontal cortex (MFC) plays an important but disputed role in speed-accuracy
trade-off (SAT). In samples of neural spiking in the supplementary eye field (SEF) in the MFC …

Cerebral cortical representation of motor kinematics is crucial for understanding human
motor behavior, potentially extending to efficient control of the brain-computer interface …
