This study characterizes the developmental and functional diversity of Tac1-lineage neurons in the spinal dorsal horn, showing they are polymodal nociceptive in adults.

The paper identifies a neuronal pathway in mice for relaying warm and cool sensations through the anterolateral tract, showing that specific neurons are tuned to innocuous temperature changes.

This study identifies teneurin-3 and latrophilin-2 as key molecules in forming the somatotopic map in the mouse spinal cord, showing their role in neuronal connectivity and body localization.

The paper shows that a sequence of transcription factors drives the chronological diversification of spinal neuron subtypes in motor and sensory circuits.

This study shows that Sp1 regulates ephrin expression in LMC neurons, affecting axon guidance through cis-attenuation and trans-signaling.

This study develops a method to image the spinal cord in awake, behaving mice over long periods, enabling monitoring of neural activity and behavior.

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify five distinct classes of anterolateral system neurons in the adult mouse spinal cord and their laminar distribution.

The paper shows that overexpression of tetracycline transactivator in keratinocytes causes neuropathic itch in mice, which can be reversed by inhibiting Gi signaling or ablating TRPV1 neurons.

This study identifies dI2 spinal interneurons in chicks that regulate bipedal stepping stability by integrating peripheral and intraspinal feedback.

This study identifies the WRC as a conserved effector of Robo signaling in axon repulsion across species.

This study identifies Phox2a as a marker for anterolateral system neurons in mice and humans, showing their role in nociceptive signal relay and conservation across species.

This study shows that ephrin-A5 enhances Neogenin availability at growth cones, potentiating netrin-1 axon guidance in LMC neurons.
