The basal ganglia (BG) are essential for learning and adapting movements, yet their output is often unnecessary for executing well-learned actions. This paradox challenges existing models of BG ...

Dorsal premotor cortex’s role in somatosensory processing has been generally limited to movement, but our current results add to growing evidence favoring a more abstract function. We recorded DPC’s ...

While it is universally accepted that the brain makes predictions, there is little agreement about how this is accomplished and under which conditions. Accurate prediction requires neural circuits to ...

We propose that correlations among neurons are generically strong enough to organize neural activity patterns into a discrete set of clusters, which can each be viewed as a population codeword. Our ...

An individual may need to take different actions to the same stimulus in different situations to achieve a given goal. The selection of the appropriate action hinges on the previously learned ...

In primates, number neurons in a dedicated parieto-frontal network encode the number of elements in a stimulus. Number neurons in the prefrontal cortex respond in an abstract manner, and their ...
