We studied the Organization of primary motor cortex colums and of recurrent
inhibitions that influence motor outputs; and of the cerebellar control of
motoractions in task context. Pictures of coworkers are shown below

1965/6 Carol Welt, Kazuo Kameda, and Jürgen Aschoff. Organization of inputs to neurons in radially
aligned columns in motor cortex. We showed that radially oriented columns in primary motor cortex
receive convergent inputs of various kinds (ref 23 in Research Papers)

1966/7 Nakakira Tsukahara and Derek Fuller. Cortical extrapyramidal outflow balances spinal motor
actions.We showed that cerebral and cerebellar influences on the spinal cord are balanced by recurrent
inhibition generated by the extrapyramidal red nucleus. (ref.24 in Research Papers).

Cerebellar control of motor accuracy of movements made in task context.
We showed that cooling the cerebellar output to motor cortex areas degrades control of goal-directed
behavior because of poor muscular coordination and timing. (refs.30-35 in Research Papers).
