The execution and learning of diverse movements involve neuronal networks distributed
throughout the nervous system. The brainstem and basal ganglia are key for processing …

Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

The motor cortex controls skilled arm movement by sending temporal patterns of activity to
lower motor centres. Local cortical dynamics are thought to shape these patterns throughout …

The cortex projects to the dorsal striatum topographically, to regulate behaviour,–, but
spiking activity in the two structures has previously been reported to have markedly different …

Abstract Systems consolidation—a process for long-term memory stabilization—has been
hypothesized to occur in two stages,,–. Whereas new memories require the hippocampus …

Perceptual decisions rely on learned associations between sensory evidence and
appropriate actions, involving the filtering and integration of relevant inputs to prepare and …

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) enable control of assistive devices in individuals with
severe motor impairments. A limitation of BCIs that has hindered real-world adoption is poor …

One of the primary ways we interact with the world is using our hands. In macaques, the
circuit spanning the anterior intraparietal area, the hand area of the ventral premotor cortex …

The cortex influences movement by widespread top-down projections to many nervous
system regions. Skilled forelimb movements require brainstem circuitry in the medulla; …

The coordination of neural activity across brain areas during a specific behavior is often
interpreted as neural communication involved in controlling the behavior. However, whether …
