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 …

The vertebrate spinal cord comprises multiple functionally distinct neuronal cell types
arranged in characteristic positions. During development, these different types of neurons …

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 …

To understand the cellular basis of behavior, it is necessary to know the cell types that exist
in the nervous system and their contributions to function. Spinal networks are essential for …

The coordinated spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression in the vertebrate neural
tube determines the identity of neural progenitors and the function and physiology of the …

The spinal cord is a fascinating structure that is responsible for coordinating movement in
vertebrates. Spinal motor neurons control muscle activity by transmitting signals from the …

The spinal cord is home to the intrinsic networks for locomotion. An animal in which the
spinal cord has been fully severed from the brain can still produce rhythmic, patterned …

Locomotion is regulated by distributed circuits and achieved by the concerted activation of
body musculature. While the basic properties of executive circuits in the spinal cord are fairly …

The spinal cord receives, relays and processes sensory information from the periphery and
integrates this information with descending inputs from supraspinal centres to elicit precise …

Spinal interneurons are important facilitators and modulators of motor, sensory, and
autonomic functions in the intact CNS. This heterogeneous population of neurons is now …
