SEQUENTIAL MOTOR BEHAVIOR AND THE BASAL GANGLIA Evidence from a serial reaction time task in monkeys

An important aspect of motor skill lies in the ability to acquire and utilize representations of ordered sequences of motor acts, thereby allowing one to select and execute a sequence of movements as a whole. The importance of this ability becomes evident when one considers alternatives; for instance, having to tie one’s shoes every morning based on the conscious selection of each constituent m...

The Striatum and Decision-Making Based on Value

Our behaviors range from mindful, deliberative streams of action to sequences of action that are so nearly automatic that we can perform them almost without thinking. Transitions between these modes of behavior occur as we learn behavioral routines. We have studied these transitions and the neural activity that occurs in corticostriatal loops as they take place. We find that neural activity in ...
