Topic: Goal-directed reaching

Large-scale neuronal recordings have revealed that movement-related activity is distributed across the brain. Within motor cortices, such activity is constrained to latent dynamics on the population level. Whether other regions exhibit these motor cortical dynamics, and how this distributed activity relate to specific motor behavior remains unclear. We used multiple Neuropixels probes to simultaneously record population activity across cortical and subcortical regions during a goal-directed reaching task in mice. Task-related population activity followed dominant latent dynamics across all rec
