Abstract:Neural preconfigured activity patterns (nPAPs) have been proposed as basic building blocks for cognitive and sensory processing. However, their existence and function in motor networks have not been explicitly studied. Here, we explore the possibility that nPAPs are present in the motor thalamus (VL/VM) and their potential contribution to motor-related activity. To this end, we developed a preparation where VL/VM multiunitary activity could be robustly recorded in mouse behavior evoked by primary motor cortex … Show more
