The Roles of Primary Motor and Dorsal Premotor Cortex in Motor Adaptation

Description:

The brain has a remarkable ability to rapidly adapt behavior. On the scale of development, the brain learns to control the complex dynamics of our limbs by forming and pruning synaptic connections. However, the motor system also learns on much shorter timescales, such as when learning to hit the bullseye...

Independent Neural Control of Motions and Forces

Description:

During interactions with our environment we must incorporate information about the mechanical properties of obstacles into our motor actions. Fundamental to these behaviors is the ability to simultaneously control movements of the hand while regulating the interaction forces that arise from contact with the environment. Although the neural control of...
