Illuminating the prefrontal neural correlates of action sequence disassembling in response–response binding

Abstract Execution of two independent actions in quick succession results in transient binding of these two actions. Subsequent repetition of any of these actions automatically retrieves the other. This process is probably fundamental for developing complex action sequences. However, rigid bindings...
