Reciprocal Fronto-Parietal Interactions Support Distinct Motor Strategies during Sequential Reaching

This study investigates how fronto-parietal interactions support different motor strategies during sequential reaching in rhesus macaques, finding bidirectional information transfer between parietal and motor areas.

Parametric control of flexible timing through low-dimensional neural manifolds

The paper shows that low-dimensional neural manifolds enable parametric control of flexible timing through tonic inputs in trained recurrent networks and confirms this in monkey behavior.

Parallel planning through an optimal neural subspace in motor cortex

The paper investigates how motor cortex activity patterns enable parallel movement planning in non-human primates and finds that preparatory activity adjusts within an optimal subspace to balance multiple movements.

A precise and adaptive neural mechanism for predictive temporal processing in the frontal cortex

The paper identifies a precise neural mechanism in the frontal cortex of non-human primates that adapts to temporal statistics, supporting predictive processing of time.

Reinforcement regulates timing variability in thalamus

This paper investigates how reinforcement affects timing variability in humans and monkeys, identifying two distinct sources of variability and their neural correlates in thalamus.

Selective facilitation of egocentric mental transformations under short-term microgravity

This study investigates how microgravity affects perspective-taking abilities, finding it selectively enhances mental rotations in the frontal plane and varies by visual field dependence.

Bayesian computation through cortical latent dynamics

The paper shows how prior beliefs influence behavior by shaping cortical latent dynamics through neural activity in monkeys during a time interval reproduction task.
