Disentangling indirect versus direct effects of somatosensory cortex microstimulation on neurons in primary motor and ventral premotor cortex Open
Objective. Intracortical microstimulation in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1-ICMS) is being developed to provide on-line feedback for bidirectional brain-machine interfaces. Because S1-ICMS can alter the discharge of the motor cortex …

Somatosensory cortex microstimulation modulates primary motor and ventral premotor cortex neurons with extensive spatial convergence and divergence Open
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) is known to affect distant neurons transynaptically, yet the extent to which ICMS pulses delivered in one cortical area modulate neurons in other cortical areas remains largely unknown. Here we assesse…
