In an effort to bring #neuroskyence to @bsky.app I wanted to share our recent paper in Neuron

@markolas.bsky.social and I asked what forelimb M1 contributes to striatal and behavioral dynamics using joystick tasks and CFA lesions
@cmuscience.bsky.social @the-cnbc.bsky.social
Motor cortex is responsible for motoric dynamics in striatum and the execution of both skilled and unskilled actions
Nicholas and Yttri find that in the absence of motor cortex, the stratum alone is not capable of producing goal-directed behavior. Lesions of motor cortex also produce a freezing of gait-like behavior...
