Processing of embedded response plans is modulated by an interplay of frontoparietal theta and beta activity

Abstract

Even simple actions like opening a door require integration/binding and flexible reactivation of different motor elements. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of such “embedded response plans” are largely elusive. The study shows that there are multiple roles of beta and theta oscillations associated with different functional neuroanatomical structures during the integration and reactivation of motor elements during actions.
