The paper compares movement-related neuronal activity in cerebellar- and basal ganglia-recipient regions of the macaque thalamus, finding distinct temporal and directional encoding patterns.

This study examines how parkinsonism affects movement-related activity in the GPi of macaques, finding altered timing and magnitude of neuronal responses.

The paper introduces a residuals method to detect oscillations in neuronal spike trains by removing refractory period distortion, outperforming shuffling in synthetic and single-unit data.

The paper examines neural activity during a reaching task in macaques and finds that basal ganglia-thalamic communication does not follow standard gating or rebound models.

The paper proposes a dual competition model between the basal ganglia and cortex to explain action-outcome and stimulus-response processes in decision making, validated in primates.

The paper demonstrates covert learning in the basal ganglia by showing monkeys improve performance after GPi inactivation is reversed, indicating value evaluation occurs without conscious awareness.
