Movement Initiation Signals in Mouse Whisker Motor Cortex
Frontal cortex plays a central role in the control of voluntary movements, which are typically guided by sensory input. Here, we investigate the function of mouse whisker primary motor cortex (wM1), a frontal region defined by dense innervation from whisker primary somatosensory cortex (wS1). Optogenetic stimulation of wM1 evokes rhythmic whisker protraction (whisking), whereas optogenetic inac...
متن کاملCortical Actin Dynamics Facilitate Early-Stage Centrosome Separation
Proper centrosome separation is a prerequisite for positioning the bipolar spindle. Although studies demonstrate that microtubules (MTs) and their associated motors drive centrosome separation [1], the role of actin in centrosome separation remains less clear. Studies in tissue culture cells indicate that actin- and myosin-based cortical flow is primarily responsible for driving late centrosome...
متن کاملSynthesizing complex movement fragment representations from motor cortical ensembles.
We have previously shown that the responses of primary motor cortical neurons are more accurately predicted if one assumes that individual neurons encode temporally-extensive movement fragments or preferred trajectories instead of static movement parameters (Hatsopoulos et al., 2007). Building on these findings, we examine here how these preferred trajectories can be combined to generate a rich...
متن کاملKinematic coordinates in which motor cortical cells encode movement direction.
During goal-directed reaching in primates, a sensorimotor transformation generates a dynamical pattern of muscle activation. Within the context of this sensorimotor transformation, a fundamental question concerns the coordinate systems in which individual cells in the primary motor cortex (MI) encode movement direction. This article develops a mathematical framework that computes, as a function...
متن کاملMovement-related cortical stimulation can induce human motor plasticity.
Repeated paired associative stimulation combining peripheral nerve stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) can produce human motor plasticity. However, previous studies used paired artificial stimuli, so that it is not known whether repetitive natural M1 activity associated with TMS can induce plasticity or not. To test this hypothesis, we develo...
