Response preparation involves a release of intracortical inhibition in task-irrelevant muscles

IN Gomez, K Ormiston… - Journal of …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Action preparation involves widespread modulation of motor system excitability, but the
precise mechanisms are unknown. In this study, we investigated whether intracortical …

Hierarchy between forelimb premotor and primary motor cortices and its manifestation in their firing patterns

A Saiki-Ishikawa, M Agrios, S Savya, A Forrest… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Though hierarchy is commonly invoked in descriptions of motor cortical function, its
