- Very excited to share a new preprint - my first paper in the @mikeeconomo.bsky.social lab where we asked when and why the motor cortex is recruited for movement control:🧠👇https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.13.699314v1
- 1/ Many studies have shown that the motor cortex can be essential for some movements but dispensable for others, and its role can change with learning. As a result, when exactly the motor cortex contributes to movement has been difficult to predict, control, and formalize.
- 2/ Further, it’s unclear whether cortical involvement is fixed during movement or can toggle on and off within an action.
