title: Activity of caudate nucleus neurons in cat performing a reaction time task.
abstract: During a reaction time task, single units were recorded in the caudate nucleus of freely moving cats. Neuronal changes of activity were related to CS, to initiation of movement or to reinforcement. It is suggested that these changes of activity are involved in a process in which informations on the CS and on the on-going movement are associated with information on the occurrence of reinforcement.
