Cerebellar outputs for rapid directional refinement of forelimb movement

This study identifies two cerebellar populations in mice that drive forelimb movement toward or away from the body, revealing a subcortical circuit basis for directional refinement during movement.

Selective Targeting of a Defined Subpopulation of Corticospinal Neurons using a Novel Klhl14-Cre Mouse Line Enables Molecular and Anatomical Investigations through Development into Maturity

This study generates a Klhl14-Cre mouse line to selectively identify and investigate a specific subpopulation of corticospinal neurons during development and into maturity.

The Dorsal Column Nuclei Scale Mechanical Sensitivity in Naive and Neuropathic Pain States

This study identifies the role of the gracile nucleus in mediating tactile sensitivity and mechanical allodynia during neuropathic pain in mice.

Modulation of tactile feedback for the execution of dexterous movement

The paper identifies a circuit mechanism that modulates tactile feedback in mice, showing how inhibitory circuits in the brainstem cuneate nucleus influence hand movement.
