This study quantitatively analyzes the postnatal development of somatosensory corticospinal projections to the lumbar dorsal horn in mice, identifying three developmental phases.

The paper identifies sequential critical periods in mouse somatosensory circuit development that shape task-specific sensorimotor behaviours through experience-dependent perturbations.

This paper introduces a novel behavioural assay to study whole-body motor control during climbing in mice, revealing kinematic features and multi-limb coordination patterns.

This study shows that microglia phagocytose A-fibre terminals in the spinal cord dorsal horn during postnatal development, and their absence leads to hypersensitivity to dynamic touch.

The paper harmonizes six spinal cord single-cell studies to create a unified atlas, revealing cell type organization and optimizing computational classification based on transcriptomic data.
