When learning goal-directed behaviours, new associations are made to achieve the desired motor output. The secondary motor cortex (M2), a frontal area of the rodent cortex, is a key region for transforming sensory information into a motor output. M2 has also been linked anticipation, impulse control, and short-term memory. Yet, our understanding of how M2 is involved in goal-directed behaviours remains lacking. Here, we used widefield, calcium imaging to measure cortical activity as mice learnt to discriminate two tactile stimuli. During learning of this goal-directed sensory-discrimination ta
