The paper compares neural representations in motor cortex, prefrontal cortex, and striatum during brain-machine interface and manual reaching tasks in nonhuman primates.

This study shows that invariant neural dynamics guide movement commands across different movements using a brain-machine interface in rhesus macaques.

This study shows that striatal activity encodes the dynamics of cortical activity's proximity to reward during learning, with dorsal and ventral striatum playing distinct roles.

This study shows that mice learn to control pyramidal tract (PT) motor cortex neurons more effectively than intra-telencephalic (IT) neurons using a calcium imaging-based brain-machine interface.

The paper finds stronger bilateral kinematic encoding in the left hemisphere during arm movements, with better across-arm generalization, suggesting a dominant role of the left hemisphere in motor control.

The paper identifies two distinct neural coding components in the motor cortex during unimanual movements, showing how bilateral arm signals are separated and interact.

This paper demonstrates head-mounted microendoscopic calcium imaging in rhesus macaques, enabling long-term, high-resolution recording of neural activity during natural motor tasks.

This study examines how neural population dynamics change in direct and indirect subpopulations during BMI learning, finding that coordination increases mainly in the direct subpopulation.

This paper introduces a model to infer brain communication across scales and shows it outperforms existing methods in accuracy and predictive power.

This study shows that neurons in the motor cortex adapt to task changes by increasing exploratory firing patterns without disrupting previously consolidated activity during neuroprosthetic learning.

This paper describes a low-cost automated system for assessing distal forelimb function in non-human primates, compatible with electrophysiological studies.
