title = "A motor association area in the depths of the central sulcus",
abstract = "Cells in the precentral gyrus directly send signals to the periphery to generate movement and are principally organized as a topological map of the body. We find that movement-induced electrophysiological responses from depth electrodes extend this map three-dimensionally throughout the gyrus. Unexpectedly, this organization is interrupted by a previously undescribed motor association area in the depths of the midlateral aspect of the central sulcus. This {\textquoteleft}Rolandic motor association{\textquoteright} (RMA) area is active during movements of different body parts from both sides of the body and may be important for coordinating complex behaviors.",
