Macaque dorsal premotor cortex exhibits decision-related activity only when specific stimulus–response associations are known
Abstract
It is not clear to what degree activity in dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) reflects perceptual-deliberation versus action-selection aspects of decision-making. Here, the authors report that monkey PMd neurons do not express correlates of the perceptual decision independently of the action choices.
