Delay activity in rodent frontal cortex during a simple reaction time task.
To understand how different parts of the frontal cortex control the timing of action, we characterized the firing patterns of single neurons in two areas of rodent frontal cortex-dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and motor cortex-during a simple reaction time task. Principal component analysis was used to identify major patterns of delay-related activity in frontal cortex: ramping activity ...
متن کاملAttentional control of task and response in lateral and medial frontal cortex: brain activity and reaction time distributions.
It is unclear whether task conflict is reflected in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) or in more dorsal regions of the medial frontal cortex (MFC). When participants switch between tasks involving incongruent, congruent, and neutral stimuli, it is possible to examine both response conflict (incongruent vs. congruent) and task conflict (congruent vs. neutral). Here, we report an event-related ...
متن کاملPredicting Normal People’s Reaction Time based on Hippocampal Local Efficiency During a Memory-Guided Attention Task
Background: There are some convincing shreds of evidence indicating that memory can direct attention. The local efficiency of an area in the brain, as a quantitative feature in a complex network, indicates how the surrounding nodes can transfer the information when a specific node is omitted. This feature is a scale for measuring efficient integration of information in the brain. Objectives:...
متن کاملThe Time Course of Corticospinal Excitability during a Simple Reaction Time Task
The production of movement in a simple reaction time task can be separated into two time periods: the foreperiod, which is thought to include preparatory processes, and the reaction time interval, which includes initiation processes. To better understand these processes, transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used to probe corticospinal excitability at various time points during response pr...
متن کاملInhibition of motor-related activation during a simple reaction time task requiring visuomotor mental rotation.
The present study investigated whether differences in reaction time (RT) between movements initiated to a visual cue (directly cued) versus movements initiated to a location other than the visual cue (indirectly cued) arise because of varying levels of inhibition within the motor system during response preparation. Unlike typical visuomotor mental rotation (VMR) experiments, this study employed...
