Nearly all patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are negatively affected by dysfunction in the
gastrointestinal tract, and the severity of gastrointestinal disease in SSc correlates with high …

The vagus nerve vitally connects the brain and body to coordinate digestive,
cardiorespiratory, and immune functions. Its efferent neurons, which project their axons from …

The vagus nerve, with its myriad constituent axon branches and innervation targets, has
long been a model of anatomical complexity in the nervous system. The branched …

Information flow through neural circuits often requires their organization into topographic
maps in which the positions of cell bodies and synaptic targets correspond. To understand …

Cognitive impairment is a common phenotype of neurodevelopmental disorders, but how
these deficits arise remains elusive. Determining the onset of discrete cognitive capabilities …

Met encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) that is expressed during development and
regulates cortical synapse maturation. Conditional deletion of Met in the nervous system …

Introduction The distributions of extrinsic neurons innervating the colon show differences in
experimental animals from humans, including the vagal and spinal parasympathetic …

The complex circuitry and cell-type diversity of the cerebral cortex are required for its high-
level functions. The mechanisms underlying the diversification of cortical neurons during …

The key developmental milestone events of the human brain, such as neurogenesis,
synapse formation, maturation, and plasticity, are determined by a myriad of molecular …

The intrinsic muscles of the larynx are innervated by the vagal motor nucleus ambiguus
(nAmb), which provides direct motor control over vocal production in humans and rodents …
