This $1,255,340 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports research at the University of California, Berkeley to investigate how the brain processes somatosensory feedback to enable dexterous movement control. The research leverages simultaneous high-density neural recordings in the motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, and motor thalamus of non-human primates as they perform a dexterous manipulation task. The goal is to uncover how somatosensory-motor integration computations are implemented in population neural activity patterns, which could inform strategies for restoring function after brain injury or neurodegeneration. The award period runs from September 2024 through August 2027.
