Humans learn and remember thousands of motor skills, but how these skills are represented in the brain is not well understood. A recent study by Wiestler and Diedrichsen demonstrates for the first time that individual motor sequences can be identified based on the pattern of neural activity in a distributed network of motor cortical regions.
