Learning-induced improvement in encoding and decoding of specific movement directions by neurons in the primary motor cortex.

Many recent studies describe learning-related changes in sensory and motor areas, but few have directly probed for improvement in neuronal coding after learning. We used information theory to analyze single-cell activity from the primary motor cortex of monkeys, before and after learning a local rot...
