This study shows that grooming movements in rhesus macaques are adapted from feeding movements, with similar hand motions used for both tasks.

The paper shows that during food-carrying decisions, CA1 place codes become more precise, stable, and temporally organized compared to when mice eat food in place.

This study uses a foraging task to assess decision-making in mice, finding that Alzheimer's model mice show greater suboptimality in action selection compared to controls.

This study identifies a cortical circuit in mice that coordinates oromanual food manipulation through specific neuron types and their projections.

The paper examines how hippocampal CA1 neurons reorganize their activity during different locomotion states, finding distinct population dynamics across movement and immobility conditions.

The paper tests the dual visuomotor channel theory by showing that hand shaping during catching small and large balls reflects separate visual and somatosensory inputs for location and size.

This study examines how Geoffroy's spider monkeys use their morphology to forage for fruit, finding a 'reach' phenotype characterized by branch-withdraw strategies and prehensile tail use, contrasting with capuchin monkeys' 'grasp' phenotype.

The paper identifies a corticothalamic channel in the motor cortex that coordinates skilled motor sequences by amplifying thalamic integration of sensorimotor inputs.

This paper describes the generation of a hybrid Alzheimer disease mouse model and shows it reduces cognitive and neuronal deficits compared to APP knock-in mice.

The paper examines how CA1 hippocampal cells respond to sensory stimuli during immobility and locomotion, identifying conjunctive and complementary cell populations that encode sensorimotor events.

A deep neural network identifies novel behavioral effects of maternal nicotine exposure on rat pups, revealing altered motor development and movement patterns.

The paper introduces a Matlab-based software tool for automated video analysis of rodent string-pulling behavior to quantify motor function and phenotyping in neurological disorders.

This study shows that low acetylcholine during early sleep supports motor memory consolidation, as increasing acetylcholine impairs motor skill retention.

The paper examines differences between real and pantomime string-pulling movements, finding reduced motoric and temporal complexity in pantomime, supporting the action/perception theory.
