Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Chen et al. (2017) examine premotor activity representing motor planning, Allen et al. (2017) observe the global representation of goal-directed movement on the cortical network, and Makino et al. (2017) track changes in such dynamics throughout learning.

Keywords: calcium imaging; motor preparation; movement; sensorimotor; wide-field imaging.
