Researchers have identified how two types of neurons divide the labor to plan and initiate movements.
The anterior lateral motor cortex, an area of the brain associated with action planning, plays a major role in premature actions such as when a person "jumps the gun", or starts to run before a race starts.
Researchers have developed a new model that represents the planning of movement from seeing an object to grasping it.
According to a new study, distant areas of the brain are required to help store a single memory.
The anterior lateral motor cortex appears to play a significant role in context-based decision making.
