A virtual rat tests theories of motor control


  • RESEARCH BRIEFINGS

How the brain controls complex movements has been a mystery. Advances in artificial intelligence now make it possible to simulate this process in virtual animals. Comparing activations in artificial control networks with brain activity in real animals enables long-standing theories of motor control at the level of neural circuits to be probed.
