This study investigates how parkinsonism alters population-level neural activity in M1 during movement, finding increased dimensionality and reduced orthogonality between preparatory and movement-related subspaces.

This study demonstrates that the primary motor cortex can generate precise temporal spike patterns through learning, with recurrent connections enhancing synchronization and coincidence detection.

This study shows that macaques can learn to generate energy-efficient temporal patterns in the motor cortex using a brain-machine interface, with neurons co-evolving firing rates and timing to achieve this efficiency.
