On the anticipatory precue activity in motor cortex.
Motor cortical neurons are activated during movement preparation and execution, and in response to task-relevant visual cues. A few studies also report activation before the expected presentation of cues. Here, we study specifically this anticipatory activity preceding visual cues in motor cortical areas. We recorded the activity of 1215 neurons in the motor cortex of two macaque monkeys while ...
متن کاملAnticipatory activity of motor cortex in relation to rhythmic whisking.
Rats characteristically generate stereotyped exploratory (5-12 Hz) whisker movements, which can also be adaptively modulated. Here we tested the hypothesis that the vibrissal representation in motor cortex (vMCx) initiates and modulates whisking by acting on a subcortical whisking central pattern generator (CPG). We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) in vMCx of behaving Sprague-Dawley rats ...
متن کاملAnticipatory Activity in Primary Motor Cortex Codes Memorized Movement Sequences
Movement sequences, defined both by the component movements and by the serial order in which they are produced, are fundamental building blocks of motor behavior. The serial order of sequence production is strongly encoded in medial motor areas. It is not known to what extent sequences are further elaborated or encoded in primary motor cortex. Here, we describe cells in the primary motor cortex...
متن کاملAnticipatory activity of motor cortex neurons in relation to direction of an intended movement.
1. Monkeys were trained to 1) hold a handle in a central zone midway between "push" and "pull" while awaiting 2) an instruction telling them how to respond to a subsequent 3) perturbation, which triggered the instructed movement and was followed by 4) a reward if the movement was correct. 2. There were two sorts of instructions: push and pull. When the pull instruction had preceded the perturba...
متن کاملThe effects of motor cortex rTMS on corticospinal descending activity.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the human motor cortex can produce long-lasting changes in the excitability of the motor cortex to single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). rTMS may increase or decrease motor cortical excitability depending critically on the characteristics of the stimulation protocol. However, it is still poorly defined which mechanisms and c...
