Pain is a percept of critical importance to our daily survival. In most cases, it serves both an
adaptive function by helping us respond appropriately in a potentially hostile environment …

Systematic research on the physiological and anatomical characteristics of spinal cord
interneurons along with their functional output has evolved for more than one century …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

Hyperexcitability of spinal reflexes and reduced synaptic inhibition are commonly associated
with spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI). In adults, the activation of γ-aminobutyric acidA …

Developmental studies identified four classes (V0, V1, V2, V3) of embryonic interneurons in
the ventral spinal cord. Very little is known, however, about their adult phenotypes …

The basic motor patterns underlying rhythmic limb movements during locomotion are
generated by neuronal networks located within the spinal cord. These networks are called …

The spatial arrangement of inputs on to single neurons is assumed to be crucial in accurate
signal processing. In mammals, the most precise temporal processing occurs in the context …

Schaffer collateral axons form excitatory synapses that are distributed across much of the
dendritic arborization of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Remarkably, AMPA‐receptor …

The Schaffer collateral pathway provides hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells with a fairly
homogeneous excitatory synaptic input that is spread out across several hundred …

Many of the interneuron cell types present in the adult spinal cord contribute to the circuits
that control locomotion and posture. Little is known, however, about the embryonic origin of …
