It has been demonstrated that some neurons of the neostriatum of monkeys (Macaca nemestrina) participate in supporting the reaction of the animal to the appearance of standard situations in which a decision is made on the basis of already existing skills. Other neurons (primarily non-baseline active), by contrast, are activated in nonstandard situations, when the use of existing skills is ineffective. It is hypothesized that their activity is associated with the shift of the animal to a different activity which consists in the rejection of the use of existing skills for the formation of new skills.
已经证明，猕猴（食蟹猴）新纹状体的一些神经元参与支持动物对标准情况出现的反应，在这些标准情况中，动物基于已有的技能做出决策。相比之下，其他神经元（主要是非基线活跃的神经元）在非标准情况下被激活，即当现有技能的使用无效时。据推测，它们的活动与动物转向不同的活动有关，这种活动包括摒弃使用现有技能来形成新技能。
