The neural activity of the brain is intimately coupled to the dynamics of the body. Yet how our hierarchical sensorimotor system dynamically orchestrates the generation of movement while adapting to incoming sensory information remains unclear. To address this, in part, we built a neuro-musculoskeletal control model of the mouse and used it to extract internal dynamics that range from 3D kinematics to muscle-level control. We find that many neurons in the sensorimotor cortex encode muscle-level features, and these neurons show signatures of sensorimotor prediction errors during learning. Together, our results provide a new model of how neural dynamics in the cortex enables adaptive learning.
