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 …

Undulatory locomotion relies on the propagation of a wave of excitation in the spinal cord
leading to consequential activation of segmental skeletal muscles along the body. Although …

Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are now commonly used to
treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLP-1R signaling in the spinal cord has been suggested …

The brain networks responsible for adaptive behavioral changes are based on the physical
connections between neurons. Light and electron microscopy have long been used to study …

After injury, mammalian spinal cords develop scars to confine the lesion and prevent further
damage. However, excessive scarring can hinder neural regeneration and functional …
