A PHOX2b+ PONTINE NUCLEUS ESSENTIAL FOR INGESTION.

Selvee Sungeelee, Caroline Mailhes‐Hamon, Zoubida Chettouh, Phillip Bokiniec, Annaliese Nucharee Eymael, Simon McMullan, Clément Léna, Bowen Dempsey, Jean‐François Brunet

The paper identifies a hindbrain neuron cluster, Sup5Phox2b, essential for coordinating biting and chewing during feeding.

The pelvic organs receive no parasympathetic innervation

Margaux Sivori, Bowen Dempsey, Zoubida Chettouh, Franck Boismoreau, Maïlys Ayerdi, Annaliese Nucharee Eymael, Sylvain Baulande, Sonia Lameiras, Fanny Coulpier, Olivier Delattre, Hermann Rohrer, Olivier Mirabeau, Jean‐François Brunet

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to show that the mouse pelvic ganglion contains neurons distinct from both sympathetic and parasympathetic types, and that pelvic organs are innervated by a divergent sympathetic pathway, not parasympathetic or typical sympathetic neurons.
