Neural correlates of mental rehearsal in dorsal premotor cortex

Article Abstract:

The behavioural evidence that monkeys also engage in mental rehearsal during the observation of sensory events associated with a well-learned motor task is presented. It is concluded that the most task-related neurons in dorsal premotor cortex exhibit the same activity patterns during observation as during performance, even during an instructed-delay period before any actual observed motion.
