Major advances

 

The focus on complex motor behaviors has highlighted the role of modular representations  in the planning and in the execution of actions. Recent findings suggest the presence of functional modules within a variety of neural structures. Computational investigations are now addressing the issue of how these modules may act concurrently to generate a wide repertoire of behaviors.
