Abstract
Rotational dynamics are observed in neuronal population activity in primary motor cortex (M1) when monkeys make reaching movements. This population-level behavior is consistent with a role for M1 as an autonomous pattern generator that drives muscles to produce movement. Here, we show that M1 does not exhibit smooth dynamics during grasping movements, suggesting a more input-driven circuit.
