Motor unit mechanisms of speed control in mouse locomotion

This study investigates how motor unit firing patterns control locomotor speed in mice by analyzing single motor unit activity in specific muscles during walking.

Myomatrix arrays for high-definition muscle recording

The paper introduces Myomatrix arrays, a high-resolution electrode technology for recording muscle activity from motor units across species during natural behaviors.

Patterned Metal Grids for Flexible and Transparent Neural Microelectrode Arrays

This paper presents patterned metal grid microelectrodes for flexible and transparent neural recordings, showing high transmittance and low impedance suitable for in vivo mouse cerebellum recordings.

A galanin-positive population of lumbar spinal cord neurons modulates sexual arousal and copulatory behavior

This study identifies a galanin-positive spinal cord neuron population that modulates sexual arousal and copulatory behavior in mice by controlling bulbospongiosus muscle activity.

Shared and specific signatures of locomotor ataxia in mutant mice

The paper compares locomotor coordination impairments in two mouse mutants, finding shared and specific gait ataxia signatures.

Spatial and temporal locomotor learning in mouse cerebellum

This study shows that mice adapt to split-belt treadmill walking similarly to humans, revealing conserved locomotor learning mechanisms and distinct neural circuits for spatial and temporal adaptation components.
