The paper shows that nonlinear decoders better predict limb movements in rat M1 at P12 compared to P8, indicating a shift to more complex and individualized sensory representations with continuous cortical activity.

The paper shows that limb twitches in human infants during quiet sleep synchronize with sleep spindles and increase with age, indicating developing functional connectivity in sensorimotor networks.

This study shows that primary motor cortex in rats transitions from being primarily sensory to more complex and informationally rich in movement representation before developing motor function.

The paper shows that whisker movements, especially during sleep, drive sensory input to the developing barrel cortex, with movement-related activity accounting for 70-75% of cortical activity.
