The execution and learning of diverse movements involve neuronal networks distributed
throughout the nervous system. The brainstem and basal ganglia are key for processing …

Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents,
including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate …

Central oscillators are primordial neural circuits that generate and control rhythmic
movements,. Mechanistic understanding of these circuits requires genetic identification of …

Over the past several decades, theories about cerebellar learning have evolved. A relatively
simple view that highlighted the contribution of one major form of heterosynaptic plasticity to …

Humans often rank craniofacial pain as more severe than body pain. Evidence suggests that
a stimulus of the same intensity induces stronger pain in the face than in the body. However …

How general anesthesia (GA) induces loss of consciousness remains unclear, and whether
diverse anesthetic drugs and sleep share a common neural pathway is unknown. Previous …

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is known to control aggressive behavior in mice. Here, we
found that glutamatergic projections from the lateral habenula (LHb) to the DRN were …

The Utah array powers cutting‐edge projects for restoration of neurological function, such as
BrainGate, but the underlying electrode technology has itself advanced little in the last three …

To test how cerebellar crus I/II Purkinje cells and their targets in the lateral cerebellar nuclei
(CbN) integrate sensory and motor-related inputs and contribute to reflexive movements, we …

Rodents explore their environment through coordinated orofacial motor actions, including
whisking. Whisking can free-run via an oscillator of inhibitory neurons in the medulla and …
