The goal of this research is to better understand how prefrontal cortical networks mediate executive control, the capacity to select and implement different information processing algorithms as a function of goals, rules, or other internal state variables. We trained two rhesus macaque monkeys to place visual stimuli into spatial categories according to a variable rule. Behavioral performance provided evidence that the monkey placed visual stimuli into spatial categories according to the variable rule. We then recorded neural activity from prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex simultaneousl...
