Possible Neural Correlates for the Mechanism of Stimulus-Response Association in the Monkey

Abstract

(From the chapter) describe the neuronal mechanisms of sensory to motor linking which can be considered to be a central component of any stimulus-response process / this mechanism was studied both at the level of a particular cortical area and within a sequence of cortical areas which can be considered to form the anatomical basis of a stimulus-response process single neuron recordings were made in monkeys performing reaction time tasks designed to identify sensory and motor properties / descriptions of the patterns of change in neuronal activity and temporal analysis of these changes served to characterize three neuronal populations, one of which had the peculiarity of showing sensory and motor properties (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA )
