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 identifies optimal corticothalamic connectivity structures that support learning in thalamocortical loops for motor control and working memory tasks.

This study shows that cerebellar Purkinje cells encode timing for initiating and terminating licking movements in mice, with distinct activity patterns for different movement contexts.

This study investigates the cortico-cerebellar loop in mice, showing that perturbing the pontine nuclei alters motor behavior and suggests the loop fine-tunes motor commands during skilled reaching.

The paper introduces Neuropixels 2.0, a high-density probe for long-term brain recordings, and demonstrates its stability across months in multiple labs and species.

The paper investigates whether motor cortex activity during skilled movement is driven by local dynamics or external inputs, finding that external inputs are required throughout the movement.
