Best-matching NI and RNm neuronal correlates of transport/preshape-related muscle component 1.
(A,E) Weighting coefficients of transport/preshape-related muscle component 1 in precision (A) and whole-hand (E) task in monkey W and monkey B, respectively. (B,F) Temporal scaling coefficients of transport/preshape-related muscle component 1. Temporal scaling coefficients shown in (B,F) specify activation of all muscles included in the muscle component according to their corresponding weighting coefficients shown in (A,E), respectively. (C,G) Temporal scaling coefficients of the NI components that best matched with transport/preshape-related muscle component 1 shown in (B,F), respectively. (D,H) Temporal scaling coefficients of the RNm components that best matched with transport/preshape-related muscle component 1 shown in (B,F) respectively. Cross-correlation magnitude between NI or RNm and muscle components is indicated by r. Behavioral event times are indicated by vertical lines: reach onset, reach offset/grasp onset, grasp offset respectively. Ordinate scales are arbitrary but uniform throughout. Time scale is normalized (0–1) across neuronal and EMG reach-to-grasp data to allow neuronal-muscle comparisons.
