What is the intention to move and when does it occur?

AI Triggiani, G Kreiman, C Lewis, U Maoz… - Neuroscience & …, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract In 1983 Benjamin Libet and colleagues published a paper apparently challenging
the view that the conscious intention to move precedes the brain's preparation for …

The point of no return in vetoing self-initiated movements

M Schultze-Kraft, D Birman… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
In humans, spontaneous movements are often preceded by early brain signals. One such
signal is the readiness potential (RP) that gradually arises within the last second preceding …

The role of the dorsal striatum in choice impulsivity

BS Kim, HI Im - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
It has long been recognized that the dorsal striatum is an essential brain region for control of
action selection based on action–outcome contingency learning, particularly when the …

EJ Hwang, JE Dahlen, M Mukundan… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Making decisions based on choice-outcome history is a crucial, adaptive ability in life.
However, the neural circuit mechanisms underlying history-dependent decision-making are …

Neural precursors of decisions that matter—an ERP study of deliberate and arbitrary choice

U Maoz, G Yaffe, C Koch, L Mudrik - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
The readiness potential (RP)—a key ERP correlate of upcoming action—is known to
precede subjects' reports of their decision to move. Some view this as evidence against a …

Slower prefrontal metastable dynamics during deliberation predicts error trials in a distance discrimination task

D Benozzo, G La Camera, A Genovesio - Cell reports, 2021 - cell.com
Cortical activity related to erroneous behavior in discrimination or decision-making tasks is
rarely analyzed, yet it can help clarify which computations are essential during a specific …

Characterizing human random-sequence generation in competitive and non-competitive environments using Lempel–Ziv complexity

A Wong, G Merholz, U Maoz - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
The human ability for random-sequence generation (RSG) is limited but improves in a
competitive game environment with feedback. However, it remains unclear how random …

Spinal anesthesia reduces myocardial ischemia-triggered ventricular arrhythmias by suppressing spinal cord neuronal network interactions in pigs

Y Omura, JP Kipke, S Salavatian, AS Afyouni… - …, 2021 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Background: Cardiac sympathoexcitation leads to ventricular arrhythmias. Spinal anesthesia
modulates sympathetic output and can be cardioprotective. However, its effect on the cardio …

In 1965, Hans Kornhuber and Luder Deecke made a discovery that greatly influenced the
study of voluntary action. Using electroencephalography (EEG), they showed that when …

Impulsive Choices Emerge When the Anterior Cingulate Cortex Fails to Encode Deliberative Strategies

SM White, MD Morningstar, E De Falco… - eneuro, 2024 - eneuro.org
Impulsive individuals excessively discount the value of delayed rewards, and this is thought
to reflect deficits in brain regions critical for impulse control such as the anterior cingulate …
