Sensation-Targeted Motor Control: Every Spike Counts? Focus on: “Whisker Movements Evoked by Stimulation of Single Motor Neurons in the Facial Nucleus of the Rat”

Abstract

Traditionally, sensory processing and motor control have been studied separately, reflecting the belief that sensory and motor streams remain independent until linked via cortical “associative” areas. Although this belief no longer dominates neuroscience, the traditional tendency to continue to
