Thalamic input drives co-timed excitation and inhibition to suppress cortical neuronal variability during movement initiation

The paper shows thalamic input coordinates excitation and inhibition in motor cortex to reduce neural variability during movement initiation.

A cranial implant for stabilizing whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in behaving rodents

This paper introduces a cranial implant that stabilizes brain movement in behaving rodents, improving the success rate of whole-cell patch-clamp recordings.

Multiscale model of primary motor cortex circuits predicts in vivo cell type-specific, behavioral state-dependent dynamics

The paper develops a multiscale model of mouse primary motor cortex to predict cell type-specific, behavior-dependent neural dynamics.

Spatiotemporal organization of movement-invariant and movement-specific signaling in the output layer of motor cortex

The paper examines movement-invariant and movement-specific signaling in layer 5B of motor cortex in mice, finding that most neurons show movement-invariant responses while a minority display movement specificity.

Cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus drives behavioral context-specific movement initiation

The paper shows that cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus provides a fixed latency signal for movement initiation, which is critical for goal-directed behavior in mice.
