[HTML][HTML] Visual salience of the stop signal affects the neuronal dynamics of controlled inhibition

P Pani, F Giarrocco, M Giamundo, R Montanari… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
The voluntary control of movement is often tested by using the countermanding, or stop-signal
task that sporadically requires the suppression of a movement in response to an incoming …

Neuronal dynamics of signal selective motor plan cancellation in the macaque dorsal premotor cortex

F Giarrocco, G Bardella, M Giamundo, F Fabbrini… - Cortex, 2021 - Elsevier
Primates adopt various strategies to interact with the environment. Yet, no study has
examined the effects of behavioural strategies with regard to how movement inhibition is …

Organization of parietoprefrontal and temporoprefrontal networks in the macaque

F Giarrocco, BB Averbeck - Journal of neurophysiology, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
The connectivity among architectonically defined areas of the frontal, parietal, and temporal
cortex of the macaque has been extensively mapped through tract-tracing methods. To …

[HTML][HTML] Anatomical organization of forebrain circuits in the primate

F Giarrocco, BB Averbeck - Brain Structure and Function, 2023 - Springer
… When we do this, we find that connectivity tends to be reciprocal (Giarrocco and Averbeck
2021). Thus, the posterior cluster that provides the dominant input to each frontal cluster also …

Motor System-Dependent Effects of Amygdala and Ventral Striatum Lesions on Explore–Exploit Behaviors

F Giarrocco, VD Costa, BM Basile… - Journal of …, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Deciding whether to forego immediate rewards or explore new opportunities is a key
component of flexible behavior and is critical for the survival of the species. Although previous …

[HTML][HTML] The small scale functional topology of movement control: Hierarchical organization of local activity anticipates movement generation in the premotor cortex of …

G Bardella, P Pani, E Brunamonti, F Giarrocco… - NeuroImage, 2020 - Elsevier
How neurons coordinate their collective activity for behavioural control is an open question
in neuroscience. Several studies have progressively proven, on various scales, that the …

Neuronal population dynamics during motor plan cancellation in nonhuman primates

P Pani, M Giamundo, F Giarrocco… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
To understand the cortical neuronal dynamics behind movement generation and control,
most studies have focused on tasks where actions were planned and then executed using …

Neuronal activity in the premotor cortex of monkeys reflects both cue salience and motivation for action generation and inhibition

M Giamundo, F Giarrocco, E Brunamonti… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Reward prospect weighs on motor decision processes, enhancing the selection of appropriate
actions and the inhibition of others. While many studies have investigated the neuronal …

Neural activity in quarks language: Lattice Field Theory for a network of real neurons

…, L Pan, R Balzan, R Fontana, F Giarrocco… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Brain-computer interfaces have undergone extraordinary development in recent years, and
a significant discrepancy now exists between the abundance of available data and the …

Persistence of cortical neuronal activity in the dying brain

P Pani, F Giarrocco, M Giamundo… - …, 2018 - resuscitationjournal.com
We report the presence of cortical electrical activity persisting for about 120min after cardiac
arrest. The general consensus is that interruption of brain blood flow triggers a chain of …
