How does somatosensory input to the #MotorCortex contribute to limb movement? This study shows that loss of #somatosensory inputs disrupts voluntary forelimb movements & motor cortex neuronal dynamics, highlighting the role of somatosensory input in motor control @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3QcbXph

Luc Estebanez, in collaboration with @mdc-berlin.bsky.social James Poulet have published a new study on somatosensory contributions to M1 activity in @plosbiology.org.
