Shima, Keisetsu and Jun Tanji. Neuronal Activity in the Supplementary and Presupplementary Motor Areas for Temporal Organization of Multiple Movements. J. Neurophysiol. 84: 2148-2160, 2000. To study how neurons in the medial motor areas participate in performing sequential multiple movements that are individually separated in time, we analyzed neuronal activity in the supplementary (SMA) and presupplementary (pre-SMA) motor areas. Monkeys were trained to perform three different movements separated by waiting times, in four or six different orders. Initially each series of movements was learned during five trials guided by visual signals that indicated the correct movements. The monkeys subsequently executed the three movements in the memorized order without the visual signals. Three types of neuronal activity were of particular interest; these appeared to be crucially involved in sequencing the multiple motor tasks in different orders. First, we found activity changes that were selective for a particular sequence of the three movements that the monkeys were prepared to perform. The sequence-selective activity ceased when the monkeys initiated the first movement. Second, we found interval-selective activity that appeared in the interval between one particular movement and the next. Third, we found neuronal activity representing the rank order of three movements arranged chronologically; that is, the activity differed selectively in the process of preparing the first, second, or third movements in individual trials. The interval-selective activity was more prevalent in the SMA, whereas the rank-order selective activity was more frequently recorded in the pre-SMA. These results suggest how neurons in the SMA and pre-SMA are involved in sequencing multiple movements over time.
