title: Stimulating news about modular motor control.
abstract: How does the motor system efficiently control dexterous finger movements? A study by Overduin et al. (2012) shows that muscle activity patterns elicited by cortical microstimulation matched those extracted from natural movements and hence could constitute the building blocks for movement production.
