Abstract
The present research aims to describe the characteristics of the neuronal actvity of the premotor cortex, putamen and amygdala during the performance of a visuomotor task that requires a movement to obtain a reward. The objective of our work was to study the influence of visual stimulation along with an enhancer on neuronal activity of the above brain areas. To carry out this study single unit extracellular recordings were performed on two monkeys rhesus (Macaca mulatta) trained in the performance of a visuomotor task.
