Significant advances have been made this past year toward understanding the anatomy and physiology of motor cortical regions. New anatomical tracing techniques have elucidated intrinsic cortical connections as well as inter-areal connectivity. Magnetic stimulation of human cortex has provided new insights about the pathways mediating movements in humans. Neural recording studies in animals have further explored the behavioral variables that may be coded in activity of single units and populations. Recent approaches to neural network modeling offer some hope of synthesizing this wealth of detail into working simulations of networks that mediate motor behavior.
在过去的一年里,我们在理解运动皮层区域的解剖学和生理学方面取得了重大进展。新的解剖追踪技术已经阐明了皮质内连接以及区域间连接。对人类皮层的磁刺激为介导人类运动的通路提供了新的见解。动物的神经记录研究进一步探索了可能在单个神经元和神经元群体活动中编码的行为变量。最近的神经网络建模方法为将这些丰富的细节综合成介导运动行为的网络工作模拟提供了一些希望。
