Spinal dI3 neurons are involved in sustained motor adaptation elicited by low-threshold cutaneous afferents

The paper shows that spinal dI3 neurons are essential for motor adaptation driven by low-threshold cutaneous afferents in spinalized mice.

Intrinsic spinal cord circuits compare sensory inputs and efference copies to correct for perturbations to ongoing movement

This study identifies dI3 neurons in the spinal cord that compare efference copies and sensory feedback to enable rapid movement corrections.
