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 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a complex solution that circulates around the CNS, and
whose composition changes as a function of an animal's physiological state. Ciliated …

Defects in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow may contribute to idiopathic scoliosis. However, the
mechanisms underlying detection of CSF flow in the central canal of the spinal cord are …

Two-photon excitation with temporally focused pulses can be combined with phase-
modulation approaches, such as computer-generated holography and generalized phase …

Throughout vertebrates, cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) are ciliated cells
surrounding the central canal in the ventral spinal cord. Their contribution to modulate …

Our movements and actions stem from complex processes in the central nervous system.
Precise adaptation of locomotor movements is essential for effectively interacting with the …

Locomotor behaviors are critical for survival and enable animals to navigate their
environment, find food and evade predators. The circuits in the brain and spinal cord that …

Some humans thrive whereas others resign when exposed to threatening situations
throughout life. Social support has been identified as an important modulator of these …

Recent evidence indicates active roles for the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on body axis
development and morphogenesis of the spine, implying CSF-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) …

The pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) can invade the
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cause meningitis with devastating consequences. Whether …
