| Research Abstract |
Using neocortex, especially frontal cortex, and basal ganglia, animals select the most appropriate actions according the past action and its result. To understand this brain process, we should know the neuron composition of the frontal cortex and their synaptic interactions. This research has clarified the functional organization and synaptic connection rules of output cells projecting to the basal ganglia and other subcortical structures. These findings indicate that the neocortical local circuit consists of connection subnetworks organized according to diverse extracortical projections.
