Motor cortex single-neuron and population contributions to compensation for multiple dynamic force fields.
To elucidate how primary motor cortex (M1) neurons contribute to the performance of a broad range of different and even incompatible motor skills, we trained two monkeys to perform single-degree-of-freedom elbow flexion/extension movements that could be perturbed by a variety of externally generated force fields. Fields were presented in a pseudorandom sequence of trial blocks. Different comput...
متن کاملContribution of individual mechanoreceptor sensory neurons to defensive gill-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia.
1. To evaluate the contribution which mechanoreceptor sensory neurons make to the defensive gill-withdrawal reflex we developed an isolated reflex preparation. We then reduced this isolated reflex to a microcircuit (consisting of a single sensory cell and single motor cell) so as to causally relate the contribution of individual cells to the expression and plastic properties of the behavior. 2....
متن کاملNeuronal Correlates of Motor Performance and Motor Learning in the Primary Motor Cortex of Monkeys Adapting to an External Force Field
The primary motor cortex (M1) is known to control motor performance. Recent findings have also implicated M1 in motor learning, as neurons in this area show learning-related plasticity. In the present study, we analyzed the neuronal activity recorded in M1 in a force field adaptation task. Our goal was to investigate the neuronal reorganization across behavioral epochs (before, during, and afte...

1 Journal of Neurophysiology 1 2 Title: The roles of monkey M1 neuron classes in movement preparation and 3 execution 4 5 Abbreviated title: Neuron classes in monkey M1 6 7 Abstract 24 25 The motor cortices exhibit substantial activity while preparing movements, yet the 26 arm remains still during preparation. We investigated whether a subpopulation of 27 presumed inhibitory neurons in primary ...
متن کاملIdentification of candidate drugs for the treatment of ALS.
A consortium of investigators interested in neurodegenerative diseases collaborated to screen 1040 drugs in multiple neurodegenerative disease assays. One model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis in particular incorporated glutamate exposure in enriched primary rat motor neuron cultures. In this model 78 compounds decreased motor neuron death caused by 100 microM glutamate. Alm...
