The paper investigates the spatial organization of spinal premotor interneurons controlling flexor and extensor muscles, finding they are intermingled rather than segregated.

This study shows that KV2.1 channels are not essential for C-bouton mediated enhancement of motoneuron output in mature mice.

This study shows that spinal cord dysfunction contributes to DYT1 dystonia by creating mouse models with dystonia-like symptoms.

This study examines adaptations in rat motoneurons and C-boutons under chronic functional overload, finding that motoneuron size decreases while C-boutons remain largely unchanged.

The paper shows that spinal motoneurons mature electrophysiologically from rostral to caudal during post-natal development in mice, correlating with the arrival of descending systems.
