Spatiotemporal organization of movement-invariant and movement-specific signaling in the output layer of motor cortex

The paper examines movement-invariant and movement-specific signaling in layer 5B of motor cortex in mice, finding that most neurons show movement-invariant responses while a minority display movement specificity.

A transient role of primary cilia in controlling direct versus indirect neurogenesis in the developing cerebral cortex

This study shows that primary cilia regulate direct versus indirect neurogenesis in the developing cerebral cortex, with Inpp5e mutations causing increased direct neurogenesis and layer V neuron overproduction.

Cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus drives behavioral context-specific movement initiation

The paper shows that cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus provides a fixed latency signal for movement initiation, which is critical for goal-directed behavior in mice.
