Robust neuronal dynamics in premotor cortex during motor planning
Neural activity maintains representations that bridge past and future events, often over many seconds. Network models can produce persistent and ramping activity, but the positive feedback that is critical for these slow dynamics can cause sensitivity to perturbations. Here we use electrophysiology and optogenetic perturbations in the mouse premotor cortex to probe the robustness of persistent neural representations during motor planning. We show that...

GM might be planning to add electricity to the Corvette’s screaming V8
Since the 1960s, whether or not General Motors would finally put a mid-engine Corvette into production has been a perennial question for 'Vette-watchers. Now they've got a new puzzle: is a hybrid Corvette on the way? The answer may be yes, based...
