This study uses calcium imaging in mice to identify population-level neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex during avoidance learning, showing that avoidance-related activity predicts behavior and distinguishes between different learned actions.

The paper evaluates Churchland's claim that rotational dynamics represent a fundamental neuronal processing mechanism, finding that such patterns can arise from simple temporal shifts in firing rates and arbitrary simulations, suggesting they may not reflect meaningful neurophysiological structures.

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of BCI-based post-stroke motor rehabilitation, finding a medium to large effect size on motor improvement.
