Effect of Biceps Brachii Muscle Stimulation on Respiration before and after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Natalia A. Shevtsova, Vitaliy Marchenko, Ilya A. Rybak, Tatiana Bezdudnaya

This study shows that biceps brachii stimulation can enhance phrenic motor output in rats with cervical spinal cord injuries, suggesting a spinal mechanism for breathing recovery.

The role of V3 neurons in speed-dependent interlimb coordination during locomotion in mice

Han Zhang, Natalia A. Shevtsova, Dylan Deska‐Gauthier, Colin Mackay, Kimberly J. Dougherty, Simon M. Danner, Ying Zhang, Ilya A. Rybak

The paper investigates the role of V3 neurons in speed-dependent interlimb coordination during locomotion in mice, finding that V3 aLPNs mediate synchronization between diagonal limb rhythm generators for trot and promote left-right synchronization for gallop and bound.
