The vertebrate control of locomotion involves all levels of the nervous system from cortex to
the spinal cord. Here, we aim to cover all main aspects of this complex behavior, from the …

Unravelling the functional operation of neuronal networks and linking cellular activity to
specific behavioural outcomes are among the biggest challenges in neuroscience. In this …

Single-cell RNA sequencing data can unveil the molecular diversity of cell types. Cell type
atlases of the mouse spinal cord have been published in recent years but have not been …

The somatosensory system decodes a wide range of tactile stimuli and thus endows us with
a remarkable capacity for object recognition, texture discrimination, sensory-motor feedback …

The new field of" Computational Ethology" is made possible by advances in technology,
mathematics, and engineering that allow scientists to automate the measurement and the …

Little is known about the organizational and functional connectivity of the corticospinal (CS)
circuits that are essential for voluntary movement. Here, we map the connectivity between …

The precision of skilled forelimb movement has long been presumed to rely on rapid
feedback corrections triggered by internally directed copies of outgoing motor commands …

When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

Translating the behavioural output of the nervous system into movement involves interaction
between brain and spinal cord. The brainstem provides an essential bridge between the two …

Motor cortex is important for motor skill learning, particularly the dexterous skills necessary
for our favorite sports and careers. We are especially interested in understanding how …
