This study investigates how the substantia nigra pars reticulata encodes decision-making in monkeys, showing a shift from representing optimal choices to encoding actual selections during the decision process.

This study records SNpr neuron activity during eye movements and finds diverse firing patterns that suggest high-dimensional coding beyond simple movement gating.

The paper compares reward and movement signal coding in the basal ganglia and cerebellum using neural recordings from monkeys, finding stronger signals in the basal ganglia output structure.

This paper improves complex spike sorting by using low frequency extracellular signals and PCA, achieving better separation from noise.
