This study shows how motor cortex transforms subcortical signals into rhythmic motor commands during obstacle traversal in mice, using phase-dependent gating to sculpt spinal motor programs.

The paper investigates how motor cortex compensates for inertial load during locomotion in mice, finding that load induces significant cortical dynamics changes independent of motor output.

The paper compares fMRI and electrophysiological data to explore how primary motor cortex organizes activity for finger flexion and extension, finding similar patterns for same-finger movements but distinct patterns in monkeys.
