Neural subspaces of imagined movements in parietal cortex remain stable over several years in humans
Authors: Luke Bashford, Isabelle Anna Rosenthal, Spencer Kellis, David Bjanes, Kelsie Pejsa, Bingni W. Brunton and Richard A. Andersen Publication: Journal of Neural Engineering Date: August 12, 2024 Abstract Objective A crucial goal in brain-machine interfacing is the long-term stability of neural decoding performance, ideally without regular retraining. Long-term stability has only been previously demonstrated…

Young Scholars Program-REACH: A must for every high schooler’s summer
Shreyas Bulusu (Henry M. Jackson High School, Mill Creek, WA) YSP-REACH provides insight about neuroscience to high school students in a variety of ways and has benefited me immensely. The foundational knowledge I received from the program not only helped me start summer productively but also allowed me to begin to appreciate neuroscience. The introduction…

A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex
Author: Rajesh P.N. Rao Publication: Nature Neuroscience Date: June 27, 2024 Abstract Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I propose that the neocortex implements active predictive coding (APC): each cortical area estimates both latent sensory states and actions (including potentially abstract actions internal…
