Properties of the primary somatosensory cortex projection to the primary motor cortex in the mouse
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2015 The primary somatosensory (S1) and primary motor (M1) cortices are reciprocally connected, and their interaction has long been hypothesized to contribute to coordinated motor output. Very little is known, however, about the nature and synaptic properties of the S1 input to M1.

The pernicious danger of cortical brain maps [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The parcellation of the primate cerebral cortex into numbered regions, based on cytoarchitecture, began with the pioneering research of neuroanatomist Kobrinian Brodmann. While the borders between regions have changed somewhat, and in some cases continue to be disputed, the idea of dividing the cortex into distinct numbered areas has become central to ...

Human locomotion-control brain networks detected with independent component analysis [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 Walking is a fundamental movement skill in humans. However, how the brain controls walking is not fully understood. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, the rhythmic, bilaterally alternating ankle movements were used as paradigm to ...

Decreasing the Surgical Errors by Neurostimulation of Primary Motor Cortex and the Associated Brain Activation via Neuroimaging [PDF]
, 2020 Acquisition of fine motor skills is a time-consuming process as it requires frequent repetitions. Transcranial electrical stimulation is a promising means of enhancing simple motor skill development via neuromodulatory mechanisms. Here, we report that non-invasive neurostimulation facilitates the learning of complex fine bimanual motor skills ...

Corticostriatal Activity in Primary Motor Cortex of the Macaque [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2000 Although input from corticostriatal neurons (CSNs) plays a critical role in basal ganglia functions, little is known about CSN activity during behavior. We compared the properties of antidromically identified CSNs with those of antidromically identified neurons that project via the cerebral peduncle to distant targets.

Local Field Potential Journey into the Basal Ganglia [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Local Field potential (LFP) in the basal ganglia (BG) nuclei in the brain have attracted much research and clinical interest. However, the origin of this signal is still under debate throughout the last decades. The question is whether it is a local subthreshold phenomenon, synaptic input to neurons or it is a flow of electrical signals merged as ...

Direction of Movement Is Encoded in the Human Primary Motor Cortex [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The present study investigated how direction of hand movement, which is a well-described parameter in cerebral organization of motor control, is incorporated in the somatotopic representation of the manual effector system in the human primary motor cortex (M1).

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2021 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often involves dysfunction in general motor control and motor coordination, in addition to core symptoms. However, the neural mechanisms underlying motor dysfunction in ASD are poorly understood. To elucidate this issue, we

Different modulation of common motor information in rat primary and secondary motor cortices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Rodents have primary and secondary motor cortices that are involved in the execution of voluntary movements via their direct and parallel projections to the spinal cord.
