Excited to see our new published work out in the special issue of Journal of Physiology-Paris!
Here we report evidence for a role of mPFC in stimulus detection and time estimation. Event-related potentials in mPFC are triggered by actions and action-imperative stimuli. The ERPs are coterminous with major changes in neuronal population activity. These events might serve as “time markers” denoting transitions between waiting and acting. We propose a mechanism based on these signals that changes behavior after mistakes are made.
