Editor’s summaryMost of our understanding of the neuronal organization underlying natural behaviors in primates derives from experiments in restrained settings. Whether these constraints affect brain activity—and, if they do, how—is unclear. Lanzarini et al. developed a wireless system for recording neurons in the premotor cortex while monkeys performed natural actions in both restrained and freely moving conditions.
