Reinforcement learning is an adaptive process in which an animal utilizes its previous
experience to improve the outcomes of future choices. Computational theories of …

The supplementary motor area (SMA) occupies an expanse of frontal agranular cortex
rostral to the primary motor cortex (MI), largely in the mesial surface of the hemisphere. It is …

This paper concerns how motor actions are neurally represented and coded. Action
planning and motor preparation can be studied using a specific type of representational …

The emulation theory of representation is developed and explored as a framework that can
revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The …

The overall goal of this target article is to demonstrate a mechanism for an embodied
cognition. The particular vehicle is a much-studied, but still widely debated phenomenon …

The intensity and spatial distribution of functional activation in the left precentral and
postcentral gyri during actual motor performance (MP) and mental representation [motor …

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 …

Chafee, Matthew V. and Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic. Matching patterns of activity in primate
prefrontal area 8a and parietal area 7ip neurons during a spatial working memory task. J …

In instructed-delay (ID) tasks, instructional cues provide prior information about the nature of
a movement to execute after a delay. Neuronal responses in dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) …

A major challenge of current neuroscience is to elucidate the brain mechanisms that
underlie cognitive function. There is no doubt that cognitive processing in the brain engages …
