Untangling Neural Representations in the Motor Cortex

Neuron
Andrew Jackson

Abstract

How the brain generates accurate movement is a long-standing problem in neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, Russo et al. (2018) argue that population activity in motor cortex does not represent muscle patterns but rather untangled neural trajectories that are robust to noise.
