This study shows that neural signatures of motor memories emerge naturally during learning in a BCI paradigm, reflecting task savings without requiring specific mechanisms.

The paper shows that neural population dynamics are preserved across individuals of the same species performing similar behaviours, even when the brain structures differ.

Across monkey, mouse and human motor cortex and mouse striatum, population activity is reported to occupy curved rather than flat low-dimensional spaces, most clearly in complex tasks.

The paper shows that neural activity structure from prior learning influences adaptation, with more structured networks adapting better under specific conditions.
