Complex dexterous movements, such as reach-and-grasp, are driven by the coordinated activity of multiple brain regions. Each region contributes unique computations while interacting with others to control the movements. To understand the neural principles underlying this behavior across different brain regions, we recorded spiking activity in 10 brain regions while the mice performed a skilled reach-and-grasp task. We identified distinct behavioral phases, each with unique kinematic features. Single neuron analyses showed similar response percentages, with differing response strengths, across
