Robust cortical encoding of 3D tongue shape during feeding in macaques
Abstract Dexterous tongue deformation underlies eating, drinking, and speaking. The orofacial sensorimotor cortex has been implicated in the control of coordinated tongue kinematics, but little is known about how the brain encodes—and ultimately drives—the tongue’s 3D, soft-body deformation. Here we...
