The acquisition and execution of motor skills are mediated by a distributed motor network,
spanning cortical and subcortical brain areas. The sensorimotor striatum is an important cog …

The action potential is a fundamental unit of neural computation. Even though significant
advances have been made in recording large numbers of individual neurons in animal …

Executing learned motor behaviors often requires the transformation of sensory cues into
patterns of motor commands that generate appropriately timed actions. The cerebellum and …

The basilar pontine nuclei (bPN) are known to receive excitatory input from the entire
neocortex and constitute the main source of mossy fibers to the cerebellum. Various …

Neural preconfigured activity patterns (nPAPs) have been proposed as building blocks for
cognitive and sensory processing. However, their existence and function in motor networks …

Motor cortex generates descending output necessary for executing a wide range of limb
movements. Although movement-related activity has been described throughout motor …
