Neural representation of action grammar structure in primate frontal cortex

2026-01-19

Abstract excerpt

Humans and other animals can solve new problems, even on the first attempt. This capacity to generate novel problem-solving behavior has been hypothesized to depend on brain mechanisms for recombining units of knowledge using systems of procedural rules, or grammars . Yet, whether and how the brain represents and implements grammars remains unclear, in large part due to the lack of neural recordings (typically pe...
