This study shows that aging-related loss of touch receptor signaling leads to spinal circuit degeneration, causing itch and pain hypersensitivity in mice.

The paper shows that cervical spinal cord neurons use muscle and tendon afferents to create a low-dimensional neural code representing forelimb movement state.

The paper investigates the dynamics of spinal CPG neurons in scratch reflex rhythmogenesis and develops a neuromechanical model to explain their interactions.

The paper introduces Myomatrix arrays, a high-resolution electrode technology for recording muscle activity from motor units across species during natural behaviors.

The paper identifies a spinal microcircuit involving V2a and V2b neurons that coordinate ipsilateral body movements during locomotion, showing antagonistic and synergistic roles in motor control.

The paper identifies unified neural pathways that gate affective pain and multisensory innate threat signals to the amygdala, revealing their role in aversive perception.

This study identifies Phox2a as a marker for anterolateral system neurons in mice and humans, showing their role in nociceptive signal relay and conservation across species.
