«We think the decrease in these chemicals reflects the breakdown of neural populations in the brain,» says team member Mark Mapstone at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. (newscientist.com)
Fortunately, recent advances in recording techniques enable us to monitor the activity of large neural populations in behaving animals, offering the opportunity to investigate how dynamic variations of collective neural - activity states translate into behavior. (cshl.edu)
As predicted, motor imagery involved the same types of neural population activity involved in actual movements, which could potentially be exploited in prosthetic limb control. (science.sciencemag.org)
