DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.01.049
Abstract: We can generate goal-directed motor corrections with surprising speed, but their neural basis is poorly understood. Here, we show that temporary cooling of dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) impaired both spatial accuracy and the speed of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04062-6
Abstract: Our bodies and the environment constrain our movements. For example, when our arm is fully outstretched, we cannot extend it further. More generally, the distribution of possible movements is conditioned on the state of our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/wnr.0000000000001117
Abstract: Recent findings suggest that the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd), a cortical area in the dorsomedial pathway, is involved in grasp control. It is unclear, however, whether human PMd transfers grasp-related information to the primary motor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00682.2019
Abstract: Humans and other animals are faced with decisions about actions on a daily basis. These typically include a period of deliberation that ends with the commitment to a choice, which then leads to the overt… read more here.

DOI: 10.3233/jin-170024
Abstract: Dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) is considered to play a crucial role in motor preparation, yet how the variation of neuronal activity affects the generation of different circumstances dependent movements remains unclear. Here we trained two… read more here.
