A broad range of evidence regarding the functional organization of the vertebrate brain–
spanning from comparative neurology to experimental psychology and neurophysiology to …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

In changing environments, animals must adaptively select actions to achieve their goals. In
tasks involving goal-directed action selection, striatal neural activity has been shown to …

The basal ganglia (BG) coordinate decision making processes by facilitating adaptive frontal
motor commands while suppressing others. In previous work, neural network simulations …

The superior colliculus is a laminated midbrain structure that acts as one of the centers
organizing gaze movements. This review will concentrate on sensory and motor inputs to the …

Reach errors may be broadly classified into errors arising from unpredictable changes in
target location, called target errors, and errors arising from miscalibration of internal models …

The authors test a neurocomputational model of dopamine function in cognition by
administering to healthy participants low doses of D₂ agents cabergoline and haloperidol …

Growing evidence from primate neurophysiology and modeling indicates that in reaction
time tasks, a perceptual choice is made when the firing rate of a selective cortical neural …

Parallel, largely segregated, closed-loop projections are an important component of cortical–
basal ganglia–cortical connectional architecture. Here, we present the hypothesis that such …

Modeling of the basal ganglia has played a major role in our understanding of this elusive
group of nuclei. Models of the basal ganglia have undergone evolutionary and revolutionary …
