This paper investigates the effects of covert neuron loss on local field potential spectra in motor cortex using electrolytic lesions in large animals, finding prolonged spectral changes despite no behavioral impact.

The paper shows that unsupervised dimensionality in motor cortex does not reflect movement complexity but instead scales with neuron count and is context-dependent, challenging assumptions about neural representation.

The paper shows that neural manifolds remain stable in low dimensions despite motor representation drift, with encoding maps changing while latent maps stay stable.

The paper compares neural dynamics during walking and reaching, finding that reaching has higher dimensionality and faster decay in dynamical systems than walking.
