Characterization of limb representation in the pig’s motor cortex

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We identified a limited hindlimb representation on the medial surface of the pig motor cortex that, when repeatedly stimulated, produced bilateral alternating hindlimb movements. This suggests that the cortical control of hindlimb likely relies on polysynaptic pathways through the brainstem, such as the corticoreticulospinal pathway.
