Determining monkey free choice long before the choice is made: the principal role of prefrontal neurons involved in both decision and motor processes

When choices are made freely, they might emerge from pre-existing neural activity. However, whether neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PF) show this anticipatory effect and, if so, in which part of the process they are involved is still debated. To answer this question, we studied PF activity in monk...
