Proprioception, the sense of body position in space, has a critical role in the control of
posture and movement. Aside from skin and joint receptors, the main sources of …

The brain can generate actions, such as reaching to a target, using different movement
strategies. We investigate how such strategies are learned in a task where perched head …

Coordinated movement requires the nervous system to continuously compensate for
changes in mechanical load across different conditions. For voluntary movements like …

The neural activity of the brain is intimately coupled to the dynamics of the body. Yet how our
hierarchical sensorimotor system dynamically orchestrates the generation of movement …

Thalamocortical pathways from the rodent ventral posterior (VP) thalamic complex to the
somatosensory cerebral cortex areas are a key model in modern neuroscience. However …

Objective. Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) aim to restore sensorimotor function to
individuals suffering from neural injury and disease. A critical step in implementing a BMI is …

Two-photon imaging has been a critical tool for dissecting brain circuits and understanding
brain function. However, relating slow two-photon calcium imaging data to fast behaviors …

The brain can learn to generate actions, such as reaching to a target, using different
movement strategies. Understanding how different variables bias which strategies are …

Dexterous limb movements rely on somatosensation (touch and proprioception), which
provides the sense of the body's posture, movement, and interaction with objects. The …

Spiking activity along synaptic circuits linking primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1)
areas is fundamental for sensorimotor integration in cortex. Circuits along the ascending …
