TL;DR: It is proposed that the communication subspace may be a general, population-level mechanism by which activity can be selectively routed across brain areas, distinct from the largest fluctuations shared among neurons within V1.

TL;DR: It is established that new neural activity patterns emerge with learning and are responsible for the new behavior of monkeys that learn new skilled behavior.
Abstract: Learning has been associated with changes in the brain at every level of organization. However, it remains difficult to establish a causal link between specific changes in the brain and new behavioral abilities. We establish that new neural activity patterns emerge with learning. We demonstrate that these new neural activity patterns cause the new behavior. Thus, the formation of new patterns of neural population activity can underlie the learning of new skills.

TL;DR: Recent studies that have begun to relate neuronal recordings and network models based on the multi-dimensional structure of neuronal population activity, as identified using dimensionality reduction are reviewed.
