This paper investigates the effects of covert neuron loss on local field potential spectra in motor cortex using electrolytic lesions in large animals, finding prolonged spectral changes despite no behavioral impact.

The paper shows that unsupervised dimensionality in motor cortex does not reflect movement complexity but instead scales with neuron count and is context-dependent, challenging assumptions about neural representation.

This paper uses compression metrics to detect changes in spiking neural data from cortical lesions, finding that compression-based methods outperform single-neuron metrics in lesion detection accuracy.
