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

The paper identifies bidirectional thermoreceptors in mice that respond to both cool and warm temperatures, revealing their role in encoding innocuous thermal sensations.

This study identifies distinct temperature representations in the somatosensory thalamus of mice, showing differences in cellular encoding and cortical output targets.

The paper maps brain-wide connectivity of mouse thermosensory cortices, showing parallel input pathways and overlapping output regions for S1 and pIC.

The paper identifies two subcortical nuclei in mammals that organize fluid ingestion movements, showing their role in jaw and tongue control through stimulation and activity recordings.
