Much progress has been made in understanding how behavioral experience and neural
activity can modify the structure and function of neural circuits during development and in the …

This book presents a comprehensive account of the regions of the brain that control the
performance of skilled voluntary movements, especially the accurate and precise control of …

The motor cortex can be excited in adults using electromagnetic stimulation, and the latency
to the evoked muscle action potential allows an assessment of the integrity of corticospinal …

Before primary motor cortex (M1) develops its motor functions, it functions like a
somatosensory area. Here, by recording from neurons in the forelimb representation of M1 …

In developing rats, behavioral state exerts a profound modulatory influence on neural activity
throughout the sensorimotor system, including primary motor cortex (M1). We hypothesized …

Primary motor cortex (M1) undergoes protracted development in mammals, functioning
initially as a sensory structure. Throughout the first postnatal week in rats, M1 is strongly …

Corticospinal (CS) axon terminations in several species are widespread early in
development but are subsequently refined into a spatially more restricted distribution. We …

The corticospinal (CS) tract is essential for voluntary movement, but what we know about the
organization and development of the CS tract remains limited. To determine the total cortical …

The book describes three elementary units of action–the reflex, the oscillator, and the
servomechanism–and the principles by which they are combined to make complex units …
