Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Mouse primary motor and somatosensory cortices contain detailed information about the many time-varying arm and paw joint angles during reaching and grasping, implying a 'low-level' role in ...

For every motor skill you've ever learned, whether it's walking or watchmaking, there is a small ensemble of neurons in your brain that makes that movement happen. Our brains trigger these ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Neuronal activity traces reveal how brain circuits evolve as mice learn a motor task. Left: example field of view recorded during behavior; each color marks a different neuron. Right: activity traces ...
