MICROENDOSCOPIC CALCIUM IMAGING IN SUPPLEMENTARY MOTOR AREA AND PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX OF RHESUS MACAQUES AT REST AND DURING ARM MOVEMENT

Motor cortical regions have undergone evolutionary expansion and specialization from rodents to primates. Studying these regions in non-human primates (NHPs) is relevant to understanding motor control in NHP models of movement disorders.
