VTA projections to M1 are essential for reorganization of layer 2-3 network dynamics underlying motor learning

Abstract The primary motor cortex (M1) is crucial for motor skill learning. Previous studies demonstrated that skill acquisition requires dopaminergic VTA (ventral-tegmental area) signaling in M1, however little is known regarding the effect of these inputs at the neuronal and network levels. Using...
