Isl2 orchestrates specific hindlimb motor pool arrangement, guaranteeing accurate motor control and sensorimotor circuit functionality.

Response inhibition is initiated by the right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG), and stopping performance is predicted by beta-band power as well as beta-band connectivity between rIFG and pre-supplementary motor area.

Biological- or artificial-arm experience during early development has a significant effect on artificial-arm motor control in adulthood, providing evidence for limited sensorimotor plasticity beyond childhood.

Precise motor control is supported by connectivity within a cortical grasping network from childhood to adulthood, but older individuals display more top-down control and superior motor performance compared to children.

Humans trained to flexibly control individual motor units within a muscle do not naturally learn to gain control over recruitment order.

Motor performance benefits from rewarding contexts via a non-uniform reduction of response latencies and increase in feedback gains across the feedback loops involved in upper limb motor control.

The secondary motor cortex causally contributes to flexible action selection during stimulus categorization with the representations of upcoming choice and sensory history regulated by the demand to remap stimulus–action association.

The human brain encodes coordinated patterns of joint movements – synergies – to increase the efficiency with which it can control complex hand movements.

A novel connection from ventral striatum to motor cortex enables emotion and motivation to influence action and motor control.

Turning in an insect is the combined result of body-side-specific modifications in processing of local sensory feedback, and modification of local central pattern generator activity.
