Abstract
The author describes studies concerned with the timing and the coding of output from pyramidal tract neurons of the motor cortex during learned movement. The goal is to understand in addition, the way in which the different components of the motor system are related to each other and to the performance of the range of learned movements which constitute complex behavior.Keywords
