“…The hand area of MC also does not exhibit rotational dynamics during grasping-only behaviour (Suresh et al, 2020), though it does exhibit rotational dynamics during reach-to-grasp (Abbaspourazad et al, 2021;Vaidya et al, 2015) which may reflect the reaching component of the behaviour. More broadly there is a growing body of work characterizing cortical neural dynamics across different behavioural tasks which have revealed rotational (Abbaspourazad et al, 2021;Aoi et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2016;Kao et al, 2015;Libby and Buschman, 2021;Remington et al, 2018;Sani et al, 2021;Sohn et al, 2019;Stavisky et al, 2019;Vaidya et al, 2015), helical (Russo et al, 2020), stationary (Machens et al, 2010), and ramping dynamics (Finkelstein et al, 2021;Kaufman et al, 2016;Machens et al, 2010) and these dynamics appear to support various classes of computations. Thus, finding of rotational dynamics across the fronto-parietal circuit in the present study was not trivial.…”
