The paper introduces a kinematic deviation index (KDI) to assess forelimb function in rodents, demonstrating its ability to detect movement differences and response to interventions.

This study investigates how corticospinal neuron activity changes during skilled versus unskilled motor learning and shows that patterned network activity is essential for skilled movement execution.

The paper introduces a modified single pellet reach task to assess forelimb dexterity in mice and shows that cortical inactivation affects different motor components at distinct times.
