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 ...

Off-Line Learning and the Primary Motor Cortex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 We are all familiar with acquiring skills during practice, but skill can also continue to develop between practice sessions. These “off-line” improvements are frequently supported by sleep, but they can be time dependent when a skill is acquired unintentionally.

Iron overload in the motor cortex induces neuronal ferroptosis following spinal cord injury
Redox Biology, 2021 Motor neuron death is supposed to result in primary motor cortex atrophy after spinal cord injury (SCI), which is relevant to poorer motor recovery for patients with SCI. However, the exact mechanisms of motor neuron death remain elusive.

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.

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.

eLife, 2017 The primary vibrissae motor cortex (vM1) is responsible for generating whisking movements. In parallel, vM1 also sends information directly to the sensory barrel cortex (vS1).

Deciding when to decide : time-variant sequential sampling models explain the emergence of value-based decisions in the human brain [PDF]
, 2012 The cognitive and neuronal mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been successfully linked to sequential sampling models. These models describe the decision process as a gradual accumulation of sensory evidence over time. The temporal evolution of

Prediction of movement intention using connectivity within motor-related network: An electrocorticography study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Most brain-machine interface (BMI) studies have focused only on the active state of which a BMI user performs specific movement tasks. Therefore, models developed for predicting movements were optimized only for the active state.

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.

Patterns of myeloarchitecture in lower limb amputees: an MRI study
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 Functional studies of cortical plasticity in humans suggest that the motor cortex reorganizes when the descending motor output pathway is disrupted as a result of limb amputation.
