Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) combine methods, approaches, and concepts derived from
neurophysiology, computer science, and engineering in an effort to establish real-time …

The basal ganglia comprise several nuclei in the forebrain, diencephalon, and midbrain
thought to play a significant role in the control of posture and movement. It is well recognized …

Deciding what to do and when to move is vital to our survival. Clinical and fundamental
studies have identified basal ganglia circuits as critical for this process. The main input …

The basal ganglia have been shown to contribute to habit and stimulus–response (S–R)
learning. These forms of learning have the property of slow acquisition and, in humans, can …

Where and how does the brain code reward during social behavior? Almost all elements of
the brain's reward circuit are modulated during social behavior. The striatum in particular is …

Humans and other animals demonstrate the ability to perceive and respond to temporally
relevant information with characteristic behavioral properties. For example, the response …

Neurophysiological studies of decision making have primarily focused on decisions about
information that is stable over time. However, during natural behavior, animals make …

Abstract [This book] presents the insights of more than 3 decades of empirical research on
the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Fuster focuses …

The basal ganglia play a role in controlling movement. The motor circuits within the striato-
pallidal complex are thought to facilitate desired movement and inhibit unwanted movement …

Neural activity in monkey motor cortex (M1) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) can reflect a
chosen movement well before that movement begins. The pattern of neural activity then …
