* RESEARCH BRIEFINGS * 14 August 2024 How the brain controls complex movements has been a mystery. Advances in artificial intelligence now make it possible to simulate this process in


virtual animals. Comparing activations in artificial control networks with brain activity in real animals enables long-standing theories of motor control at the level of neural circuits to


be probed.
