PFC and basal ganglia influence motor decision
|
generic
|
Areas of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia help bias the competition between potential actions.
|
|
PFC integration of goal-relevant information
|
generic
|
There is evidence from neurophysiological studies that associative relationships between anatomically segregated neuronal populations in PFC allow to integrate prior task knowledge, knowledge about environmental constraints and sensory cues (for review, see Miller, 2000).
|
|
PFC sensitive to conjunctions of relevant info
|
generic
|
Neurons in the prefrontal cortex have been shown to be sensitive to conjunctions of relevant sensory and cognitive information.
|
|
The biased signal from PFC
|
generic
|
The competition among the neural populations in PMd is biased by the signal from PFC.(Miller, 2000; Tanji and Hoshi,2001)
