Motor cortex signals for each arm are mixed across hemispheres and neurons yet partitioned within the population response.

abstract：:Motor fatigability emerges when demanding tasks are executed over an extended period of time. Here, we used repetitive low-force movements that cause a gradual reduction in movement speed (or 'motor slowing') to study the central component of fatigability in healthy adults. We show that motor slowing is associated wit...
