The paper shows that proprioceptive cortical neurons in layer 2/3 are critical for optimal state estimation during motor control, as their removal alters movement variability without affecting kinematics.

The paper investigates how inferior olive neurons encode sensory events' effects on behavior in mice during motor tasks, finding that some neurons provide informative signals about behavioral consequences.

This study identifies the rodent proprioceptive cortex using calcium imaging and optogenetics, showing that limb movements are encoded as spatial direction vectors in somatosensory and motor areas.
