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.

Probabilistic reasoning by neurons
Article Abstract:
The study of the brains ability to make choices based on end rewards showed that neurons in the parietal cortex have probabilistic quantities that underlie the task of decision making.

The currency of guessing
Article Abstract:
The study of how the brain combines evidence from multiple sources to make the best guess of the correct choice is based on the probabilistic decision-making process of neurons.
