Forelimb movements evoked by optogenetic stimulation of the macaque motor cortex

Non-human primates are useful models for understanding the human brain but application of optogenetics to non-human primates is challenging. The authors used optogenetic intracortical microstimulation in the primary motor cortex of macaques to elicit distinct forelimb movements and muscle activity.
