Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

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 …

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 …

Background The senses of touch and proprioception evoke a range of perceptions and rely
on the ability to detect and transduce mechanical force. The molecular and neural …

Background A substantial number of clinical studies have demonstrated the functional
recovery induced by the use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in patients after …

Pain thresholds are, in part, set as a function of emotional and internal states by descending
modulation of nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. Neurons of the rostral …

Detailed descriptions of brain-scale sensorimotor circuits underlying vertebrate behavior
remain elusive. Recent advances in zebrafish neuroscience offer new opportunities to …

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

The exteroceptive somatosensory system is important for reflexive and adaptive behaviors
and for the dynamic control of movement in response to external stimuli. This review outlines …

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 …
