Topic: explicit rewards

Several studies highlight motivation's crucial role in motor decision-making for maximizing potential rewards. However, how explicit rewards impact the neural dynamics of decision-making processes and their effects on neural organization at the network level, is still unexplored. To address this gap, we analyzed neuronal activity recorded from the premotor cortex (PMd) of three monkeys while performing a modified version of the stop signal task. In this task, the motivation to either act or inhibit action was manipulated using Cues that informed about different reward contexts. We conducted an
