Motor Cortex Activity Organizes the Developing Rubrospinal System.
The corticospinal and rubrospinal systems function in skilled movement control. A key question is how do these systems develop the capacity to coordinate their motor functions and, in turn, if the red nucleus/rubrospinal tract (RN/RST) compensates for developmental corticospinal injury? We used the cat to investigate whether the developing rubrospinal system is shaped by activity-dependent inte...
متن کاملActivity of the motor cortex during scratching.
In awake cats sitting with the head restrained, scratching was evoked using stimulation of the ear. Cats scratched the shoulder area, consistently failing to reach the ear. Kinematics of the hind limb movements and the activity of ankle muscles, however, were similar to those reported earlier in unrestrained cats. The activity of single neurons in the hind limb representation of the motor corte...
متن کاملNeuronal Spiking Activity in Primate Motor Cortex
34 35 Transient gamma-band (40 – 80 Hz) spatiotemporal patterns are hypothesized to play important 36 roles in cortical function. Here, we report the direct observation of gamma oscillations as 37 spatiotemporal waves induced by targeted optogenetic stimulation, recorded by intracortical 38 multichannel extracellular techniques in macaque monkeys during their awake, resting states. 39 Microelec...
متن کاملVibrissae motor cortex unit activity during whisking.
Rats generate stereotyped exploratory (5-12 Hz) vibrissa movements when navigating through their environment. Like other rhythmic behaviors, the production of whisking relies on a subcortical pattern generator. However, the relatively large vibrissae representation in motor cortex (vMCx) suggests that cortex also contributes to the control of whisker movements. The goal of this study was to exa...
متن کاملHuman motor cortex activity during mental rotation.
The functional role of human premotor and primary motor cortex during mental rotation has been studied using functional MRI at 3 T. Fourteen young, male subjects performed a mental rotation task in which they had to decide whether two visually presented cubes could be identical. Exploratory Fuzzy Cluster Analysis was applied to identify brain regions with stimulus-related time courses. This rev...
