Constraints on somatotopic organization in the primary motor cortex
MH Schieber - Journal of neurophysiology, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
Since the 1870s, the primary motor cortex (M1) has been known to have a somatotopic
organization, with different regions of cortex participating in control of face, arm, and leg …

Microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex evokes task-dependent, spatially patterned responses in motor cortex
The primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1) cortices play critical roles in motor control
but the signaling between these structures is poorly understood. To fill this gap, we recorded …

Transient deactivation of dorsal premotor cortex or parietal area 5 impairs feedback control of the limb in macaques
We can generate goal-directed motor corrections with surprising speed, but their neural
basis is poorly understood. Here, we show that temporary cooling of dorsal premotor cortex …

Low-frequency stimulation enhances ensemble co-firing and dexterity after stroke
Electrical stimulation is a promising tool for modulating brain networks. However, it is
unclear how stimulation interacts with neural patterns underlying behavior. Specifically, how …
