Two-photon optical backfills of pan-neuronal photoactivatable GFP in larval zebrafish yield an estimated 1,300 spinal-projecting neurons per larva across hindbrain, midbrain and diencephalon, with tentative homologies to mammalian nuclei.

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of the rostral pedunculotegmental nucleus disrupts cue-guided behavior in rats when stimulation overlaps with cue presentation, but not when it occurs before or after.

The paper shows that larval zebrafish encode flow direction relative to their center-of-mass in the hindbrain, enabling motor responses to fluid motion.

This study shows noradrenaline prolongs motor arrest through cerebrospinal fluid signaling via Adra1a receptors on ependymal radial glia.

This study identifies the mesencephalic locomotor region's role in recruiting V2a reticulospinal neurons to control forward locomotion in zebrafish.

This paper improves Granger causality analysis for calcium imaging data to better infer information flow in neuronal networks.

This study compares swimming patterns and neuronal circuits in two closely related fish species to understand how environmental factors drive evolutionary divergence in locomotion.

This paper identifies that rostral spinal sensory neurons synapse onto hindbrain motor neurons and reticulospinal neurons, enhancing locomotor speed and postural control.
