Context-Dependent Neural Activity in Mouse Motor Cortex

Abstract

Movement is essential for an animal to interact with its environment. Furthermore, the better the animal learns the specific demands of the environment, the more fluent is the motor execution. The study of motor control, and how sensorimotor integration guides motor control, is important for understanding the function of neural networks. It is known that the primary motor areas are organized in a topographical manner, but the knowledge on how environmental demands are reflected and encoded in cortical neuronal activity and how this ca Show more
