Brain's Warning System for Movement May Unlock Secrets of Decision Making.
The brain sends out signals to warn itself about upcoming movements, called corollary discharge. This review suggests that this concept also applies to how the brain thinks. By studying how the eyes move and how the brain plans actions, researchers found that corollary discharge helps us see and move smoothly. They propose that these signals also help us make decisions. Understanding these signals could give us new insights into how our brains work and why some mental health issues occur.
