Force Decoding of Caudal Forelimb Area and Rostral Forelimb Area in Chronic Stroke Rats.

Brain machine interfaces (BMIs) used for movement restoration primarily rely on studies of motor decoding. It has been proved that local field potentials (LFPs) from primary motor cortex and premotor cortex of normal rodents could be used for decoding motor signals. However, few studies have explored the decoding performance of these brain areas under motor cortex damage.
