Convergence of proprioceptive and visual feedback on neurons in primary motor cortex

An important aspect of motor function is our ability to rapidly generate goal-directed corrections for disturbances to the limb or behavioural goal. Primary motor cortex (M1) is a key region involved in feedback processing, yet we know little about how different sources of feedback are processed by M1. We examined feedback-related activity in M1 to compare how different sources (visual versus proprioceptive) and types of information (limb versus goal) are represented. We found sensory feedback had a broad influence on M1 activity with [~]73% of neurons responding to at least one of the feedback sources. Information was also organized such that limb and goal feedback targeted the same neurons and evoked similar responses at the single-neuron and population levels indicating a strong convergence of feedback sources in M1.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
