This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support neuroscience research to characterize the complex neural activity patterns observed in the motor cortex and understand their relationship to voluntary movement. The $636,448 award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will fund research activities that leverage large-scale neural recordings, motor unit measurements, and a novel behavioral task to investigate the potential sources of motor cortex response complexity. Findings from this work are expected to inform new hypotheses about how the motor cortex computes and represents movement. The research will be conducted at Columbia University's Health Sciences Division over the project period from July 2024 to June 2029.
