A recent study has shown that prolonged electrical stimulation of the ventral premotor cortex can evoke complex defensive movements. Moreover, neurons in this region show activity correlated with the vigour of an induced defensive reaction. These results support the idea that this cortical region encodes goal-related actions. |
