Can cortical state transitions be targeted to improve stroke recovery? In this issue of Neuron, Choi et al. show how disrupted neural state dynamics and their restoration shape motor recovery, linking population activity, manifolds, and stimulation-based rehab. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mHq73BtfH...

And when PCs were included in the decoder?
No difference in BMI task performance- suggesting flexibility and integration of PCs in cerebellar BMI control.

For #Cerebellum aficionados: yes, we looked at #PurkinjeCells (PCs).
Indirect PCs showed learning-related modulation, and interaction timescales with decoder units and M1 matched other cerebellar units.

We then asked: what predicts cerebellar BMI activity?
Turns out, local cerebellar and motor cortical indirect activity predicted direct decoder activity across time lags- altered post-stroke, hinting at network-level compensation.

Cerebellar “direct” decoder units showed strong task-related modulation.
With learning, indirect cerebellar units also became task-modulated- pointing to distributed #plasticity across the circuit.

Crucially, cerebellar BMI control remained feasible even when upper-limb impairments persisted post-#stroke - highlighting its translational potential for #neurorehab and #neuroprosthetics. 💡

We first compared cerebellar #BMI control with #MotorCortex (M1)-driven BMI.
Performance was on par.
And, BMI control from the cerebellum was equally effective in healthy vs. stroke brains.
