- Title
Neuroscience: Persistent feedback.
- Authors
Seo, Hyojung; Lee, Daeyeol
- Abstract
The article cites a study which examines the persistent activity of the brain. It found out that its activity in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia may be crucial for learning correct actions through experience. It investigated that the task forming an association between a particular sensory event, a behavioural response is not trivial. It added that the sensory and motor events that need to be remembered together are often transient, whereas the outcome of an action can be revealed only after a long day. It concluded that information about several sensory and motor events must be stored temporarily before the long-lasting memory about their relationship can be created.
