Linking Motor Cortex Activity and Movement in the Mouse Orofacial System
Information flow through neural circuits is dynamic. The set of brain areas that are engaged in computation are ever changing according to behavioral demands. How circuits in the brain are functionally coupled and uncoupled on behavioral time scales so that information can be relayed to the appropriate place at the appropriate time remains a major outstanding question in systems neuroscience. This question is of particular relevance in the motor system. The production of movements is one of the most fundamental functions of the brain, and in mammals, flexible movements depend on the motor cortex. Neural activity in the motor is cortex complex, made up of control signals that drive movements…
