Attention, intention, and priority in the parietal lobe

JW Bisley, ME Goldberg - Annual review of neuroscience, 2010 - annualreviews.org
For many years there has been a debate about the role of the parietal lobe in the generation
of behavior. Does it generate movement plans (intention) or choose objects in the …

The neural basis of timing: distributed mechanisms for diverse functions

JJ Paton, DV Buonomano - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Timing is critical to most forms of learning, behavior, and sensory-motor processing.
Converging evidence supports the notion that, precisely because of its importance across a …

Single-trial neural dynamics are dominated by richly varied movements

S Musall, MT Kaufman, AL Juavinett, S Gluf… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
When experts are immersed in a task, do their brains prioritize task-related activity? Most
efforts to understand neural activity during well-learned tasks focus on cognitive …

Maintenance of persistent activity in a frontal thalamocortical loop

ZV Guo, HK Inagaki, K Daie, S Druckmann, CR Gerfen… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Persistent neural activity maintains information that connects past and future events. Models
of persistent activity often invoke reverberations within local cortical circuits, but long-range …

Temporal context calibrates interval timing

M Jazayeri, MN Shadlen - Nature neuroscience, 2010 - nature.com
We use our sense of time to identify temporal relationships between events and to anticipate
actions. The degree to which we can exploit temporal contingencies depends on the …

Robust neuronal dynamics in premotor cortex during motor planning

N Li, K Daie, K Svoboda, S Druckmann - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Neural activity maintains representations that bridge past and future events, often over many
seconds. Network models can produce persistent and ram** activity, but the positive …

Activity map of a cortico-cerebellar loop underlying motor planning

J Zhu, H Hasanbegović, LD Liu, Z Gao, N Li - Nature neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown
how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here …

Discrete attractor dynamics underlies persistent activity in the frontal cortex

HK Inagaki, L Fontolan, S Romani, K Svoboda - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Short-term memories link events separated in time, such as past sensation and future
actions. Short-term memories are correlated with slow neural dynamics, including selective …

Neural mechanisms of movement planning: motor cortex and beyond

K Svoboda, N Li - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2018 - Elsevier
Highlights•Preparatory activity is a neural correlate of motor planning.•Multiple brain areas
cooperate to maintain preparatory activity.•Preparatory activity sets network activity to an …

[HTML][HTML] Internally generated preactivation of single neurons in human medial frontal cortex predicts volition

I Fried, R Mukamel, G Kreiman - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Understanding how self-initiated behavior is encoded by neuronal circuits in the human
brain remains elusive. We recorded the activity of 1019 neurons while twelve subjects …
