The paper shows that Purkinje cells in Crus I/II encode visual stimuli and impending choices during learning of a visuomotor task, with increased selectivity over time.

The paper investigates fixation selection in real-world tasks and finds that motor 'laziness' drives return saccades and center biases, contradicting lab-based principles like inhibition-of-return.

The paper investigates how Purkinje cells in the cerebellum respond during visuomotor learning, finding mixed selectivity between movement and reward signals.

This study investigates how the frontal eye field (FEF) in macaques plans and executes sequences of saccadic eye movements, revealing processing bottlenecks and capacity-sharing mechanisms.

The paper shows that sequence planning signals in the FEF are preserved in neck EMG but delayed for the second saccade, suggesting both direct and indirect pathways contribute to motor control during sequential saccades.

The paper links frontal eye field activity with small amplitude motor unit recruitment in neck muscles during gaze planning, showing how temporal information is encoded in peripheral motor units before movement initiation.

The paper identifies neural differences between goal-directed and non-goal-directed movements in monkeys using electrophysiological recordings.

This study shows that mid-lateral cerebellum inactivation impairs visuomotor association learning in monkeys, suggesting its role in reinforcement learning beyond motor control.

This study identifies mid-lateral cerebellar Purkinje cells as providing an error signal during visuomotor association learning in monkeys, which decreases with improved performance.

This study shows that complex spikes in monkeys encode reward expectation signals during visuomotor learning, independent of simple spike activity.

The paper shows that decreased within-trial neural spiking variability contributes to decreased across-trial variability during network computations in primates.

The paper shows that Purkinje cells in the mid-lateral cerebellum change their activity when monkeys learn new visuomotor associations, despite unchanged movement kinematics.
