TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Decoupling motor plans from perceptual decisions to investigate when and whether decisions are embodied JO - Journal of Neurophysiology A1 - Sandrone, Stefano SP - 1603 EP - 1605 VL - 112 IS - 7 N2 - Decision-making is a crucial part of our life: we sense information from the environment and perform our motor response. However, 'whether' and 'when' decisions are embodied still needs to be fully elucidated. Neuroimaging data obtained by the disentanglement of perceptual decision from motor preparation revealed an increase in connectivity between inferior frontal cortex and sensory regions, and the important role played by intraparietal sulcus in motor decisions. The results obtained as well as the new research questions prompted by this work are carefully discussed herein.
