When the monkeys sat near each other but did not interact, each monkey's parietal activity showed robust response preference to action by his own right arm and almost no response to action by the other's arm.
About a decade ago it was demonstrated that, similar to an operant response, preference for a drug-paired environment can be extinguished and subsequently reinstated by drug priming injections [18], [19].
We evaluated whether there was a session-by-session ERP response preference either for the violation or consistent conditions.
Consistent with this literature, we observed a univariate response preference for heads relative to ellipsoids in bilateral superior temporal regions likely corresponding to MT+.
Such a strong response preference for speech over music (exactly that found in actors in the present study) is entirely absent in our group of violinists who showed equivalently robust activation for music as well as speech.
Selecting either a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) or long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) should be based on patient response, preference, and affordability as limited data exist defining the best initial treatment.
