Reward signals in the cerebellum: origins, targets, and functional implications

D Kostadinov, M Häusser - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
The cerebellum has long been proposed to play a role in cognitive function, although this
has remained controversial. This idea has received renewed support with the recent …

Going beyond primary motor cortex to improve brain–computer interfaces

JA Gallego, TR Makin, SD McDougle - Trends in neurosciences, 2022 - cell.com
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) for movement restoration typically decode the user's intent
from neural activity in their primary motor cortex (M1) and use this information to enable …

Coupling perception to action through incidental sensory consequences of motor behaviour

M Rolfs, R Schweitzer - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2022 - nature.com
Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

Dynamic control of decision and movement speed in the human basal ganglia

DM Herz, M Bange, G Gonzalez-Escamilla… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
To optimally adjust our behavior to changing environments we need to both adjust the
speed of our decisions and movements. Yet little is known about the extent to which these …

Dissociating the contributions of sensorimotor striatum to automatic and visually guided motor sequences

KGC Mizes, J Lindsey, GS Escola, BP Ölveczky - Nature Neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
The ability to sequence movements in response to new task demands enables rich and
