The central nervous system (CNS) may produce coordinated motor outputs via the
combination of motor modules representable as muscle synergies. Identification of muscle …

Motor neurons are the final common pathway through which the brain controls movement of
the body, forming the basic elements from which all movement is composed. Yet how a …

How is an evanescent wish to move translated into a concrete action? This simple question
and puzzling miracle remains a focal point of motor systems neuroscience. Where does the …

Complex motor commands for human locomotion are generated through the combination of
motor modules representable as muscle synergies. Recent data have argued that muscle …

Learning effective continuous control policies in high-dimensional systems, including
musculoskeletal agents, remains a significant challenge. Over the course of biological …

Human dexterity is a hallmark of motor control behaviors. Our hands can rapidly synthesize
new behaviors despite the complexity (multi-articular and multi-joints, with 23 joints …

It is generally assumed that the main function of the corticospinal tract (CST) is to convey
motor commands to bulbar or spinal motoneurons. Yet the CST has also been shown to …

Key points The control of locomotion is thought to be generated by activating groups of
muscles that perform similar actions, which are termed muscle synergies. Here, we …

The recent development of transgenic rodent lines expressing cre recombinase in a cell-
specific manner, along with advances in engineered viral vectors, has permitted in-depth …

Humans respond to mechanical perturbations that affect their gait by changing their motor
control strategy. Previous work indicates that adaptation during gait is context dependent …
