DESCRIPTION:Steffen Schneider\nVolitional control of limb movements requir
 es that neural circuits both generate motor commands to drive muscles\, an
 d receive sensory feedback from the periphery to compute the state of the 
 body. Yet despite evidence that motor cortex (M1) is required for dexterou
 s movements\, and forelimb sensory cortex (S1) is required for motor learn
 ing and adaptation\, a clear understanding of the neural dynamics that ena
 ble control and learning across these regions remains elusive. In particul
 ar\, less is known about representations in forelimb S1 neurons of rodents
 . In this talk\, I will discuss preliminary results obtained by 2-photon i
 maging across S1 and M1 in mice learning a skilled joystick task. I will d
 iscuss machine learning tools for neural and behavioral analysis to invest
 igate tuning properties and limb state dependencies in S1 and M1.\n\n
