The activity of 249 neurons in the dorsomedial frontal cortex was studied in two macaque monkeys. The animals were trained to release a bar when a visual stimulus changed color in order to receive reward. An acoustic cue signaled the start of a series of trials to the animal, which was then free to

Single unit activity was studied in the dorsomedial edge of the frontal lobe, above the superior arcuate sulcus in three trained monkeys (Macaca nemestrina). Gaze and head movements were recorded with two magnetic search coils. Discharges preceding spontaneous eye movements in a preferred direction
Prefrontal cortices have been implicated in autonomic function, but their role in this activity is not well understood. Orbital and medial prefrontal cortices receive input from cortical and subcortical structures associated with emotions. Thus, the prefrontal cortex may be an essential link for aut
