A spinal cord injury disrupts communication between the brain and the circuits in the spinal
cord that regulate neurological functions. The consequences are permanent paralysis, loss …

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 …

Although the generation of movements is a fundamental function of the nervous system, the
underlying neural principles remain unclear. As flexor and extensor muscle activities …

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

Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus is a notable process due not only to its uniqueness
and potential impact on cognition but also to its localized vertical integration of different …

The emerging picture of taste coding at the periphery is one of elegant simplicity. Contrary to
what was generally believed, it is now clear that distinct cell types expressing unique …

Two facts about the hippocampus have been common currency among neuroscientists for
several decades. First, lesions of the hippocampus in humans prevent the acquisition of new …

Neurobiologists have long sought to understand how circuits in the nervous system are
organized to generate the precise neural outputs that underlie particular behaviours. The …

In 1900, Ramón y Cajal advanced the neuron doctrine, defining the neuron as the
fundamental signaling unit of the nervous system. Over a century later, neurobiologists …

Animals generate movement by engaging spinal circuits that direct precise sequences of
muscle contraction, but the identity and organizational logic of local interneurons that lie at …
