While respiratory adaptation to exercise is compulsory to cope with the increased metabolic
demand, the neural signals at stake remain poorly identified. Using neural circuit tracing and …

Motoneurons (MNs) control muscle contractions, and their recruitment by premotor circuits is
tuned to produce accurate motor behaviours. To understand how these circuits coordinate …

From swimming to walking and flying, animals have evolved specific locomotor strategies to
thrive in different habitats. All types of locomotion depend on the integration of motor …

The organization and cellular composition of tissues are key determinants of their biological
function. In the mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the enteric nervous system (ENS) …

Elaborate behaviours are produced by tightly controlled flexor-extensor motor neuron
activation patterns. Motor neurons are regulated by a network of interneurons within the …

In species that regenerate the injured spinal cord, the ependymal region is a source of new
cells and a prominent coordinator of regeneration. In mammals, cells at the ependymal …

Examining whether and how the rhythms of limb and breathing movements interact is highly
informative about the mechanistic origin of hyperpnoea during running exercise. However …

Flight in birds evolved through patterning of the wings from forelimbs and transition from
alternating gait to synchronous flapping. In mammals, the spinal midline guidance molecule …

Adequate alternatives to conventional animal testing are needed to study developmental
neurotoxicity (DNT). Here, we used kinematic analysis to assess DNT of known (toluene …

While respiratory adaptation to exercise is compulsory to cope with the increased metabolic
supply to body tissues and with the necessary clearing of metabolic waste, the neural …
