The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can be seen as fundamentally premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the PFC consists of an action abstraction hierarchy whose core function is the potentiation and depotentiation of possible action plans at different levels of granularity.

Current Biology, 2007 Recognizing other people, animals or objects by the sound they make is something that most of us take for granted. In fact, this ability relies on a series of rich and complex processes that begin when sounds are transduced into electrical signals by the exquisitely sensitive hair cell receptors that lie inside the cochlea of the inner ear.

Development of visual response selectivity in cortical GABAergic interneurons
Nature Communications, 2022 Excitatory neurons in the carnivore and primate visual cortex display orientation selectivity arranged in a modular fashion before the onset of visual experience, but the developmental timeline for visual response selectivity of inhibitory neurons is ...

“Vitamin D Deficiency Is More Common in Women with Autoimmune Thyroiditis: A Retrospective Study”
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2021 Background. Vitamin D is a hormone that is mainly produced in the skin upon ultraviolet B radiation exposure and has important influence on various organs. In recent years, data have been collected that vitamin D deficiency plays an important role in the

Point-light biological motion perception activates human premotor cortex [PDF]
, 2004 Motion cues can be surprisingly powerful in defining objects and events. Specifically, a handful of point-lights attached to the joints of a human actor will evoke a vivid percept of action when the body is in motion.

Reciprocal anatomical relationship between primary sensory and prefrontal cortices in the human brain [PDF]
, 2011 The human brain exhibits remarkable interindividual variability in cortical architecture. Despite extensive evidence for the behavioral consequences of such anatomical variability in individual cortical regions, it is unclear whether and how different ...
