Task-specific modulation of corticospinal neuron activity during skilled motor learning

Najet Serradj, Francesca Marino, Yunuen Moreno-López, Amanda Bernstein, Sydney Agger, Marwa Soliman, Andrew M. Sloan, Edmund R Hollis II

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.
