Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We compared temporal pattern of activity of putative pyramidal neurons (PNs) and interneurons (INs) of the lateral prefrontal cortex (1PFC) of monkeys during the preparatory period of a path-planning task, showing selectivity for immediate goal of action. These two neuronal populations showed representational transition, from that for Final Goal to that for Immediate Goal. However, PNs showed persistent Final Goal representation before the representational change, while INs showed a transient cut-off of Final Goal representation. This result suggests differential contributions of PNs and INs to planning an immediate goal of action to attain a final goal.
