Motor cortex outputs evoked by long-duration microstimulation encode synergistic muscle activation patterns not controlled movement trajectories

The effects of intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) parameters on the evoked electromyographic (EMG) responses and resulting limb movement were investigated. In ketamine-anesthetized cats, paw movement kinematics in 3D and EMG activity from 8 to 12 forelimb muscles evoked by ICMS applied to the forelimb area of the cat motor cortex (MCx) were recorded. The EMG responses […]
