Task-specific neural activity in the primate prefrontal cortex.
Real-world behavior is typically more complicated than a one-to-one mapping between a stimulus and response; the same stimulus can lead to different behaviors depending on the situation, or the same behavior may be cued by different stimuli. In such cases, knowledge of the formal demands of the task at hand is required. We found that in monkeys trained to alternate between three tasks, the acti...
متن کاملNeural Activity in the Primate Prefrontal Cortex during Associative Learning
The prefrontal (PF) cortex has been implicated in the remarkable ability of primates to form and rearrange arbitrary associations rapidly. This ability was studied in two monkeys, using a task that required them to learn to make specific saccades in response to particular cues and then repeatedly reverse these responses. We found that the activity of individual PF neurons represented both the c...
متن کاملNeural representation of vocalizations in the primate ventrolateral prefrontal cortex.
In this study, we examined the role of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in encoding communication stimuli. Specifically, we recorded single-unit responses from the ventrolateral prefrontal cortext (vlPFC) in awake behaving rhesus macaques in response to species-specific vocalizations. We determined the selectivity of vlPFC cells for 10 types of rhesus vocalizations and also asked what types ...
متن کاملTimecourse of object-related neural activity in the primate prefrontal cortex during a short-term memory task.
We studied the timecourse of neural activity in the primate (Macacca mulatta) prefrontal (PF) cortex during an object delayed-matching-to-sample (DMS) task. To assess the effects of experience on this timecourse, we conducted the task using both novel and highly familiar objects. In addition, noise patterns containing no task-relevant information were used as samples on some trials. Comparison ...
