Abstract

Goal-directed movements, such as reaching for an object, necessitate temporal preparation and organization of information processing within the basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor network. Impaired movement in people with Parkinson's disease is thought to be the result of pathophysiological activity disrupting information flow within this network. This work provides neurophysiological evidence linking altered motor preplanning processes encoded in pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) neuronal firing to the pathogenesis of motor disturbances in parkinsonism.
