Synchrony within Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes governs signal propagation to primary somatosensory cortex

The paper investigates how synchrony in Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes affects signal propagation to primary somatosory cortex, finding that synchronous activation of SAI-LTMRs is critical for sustained cortical responses, while RAI-LTMRs produce robust responses regardless of synchrony.

Spinal V1 inhibitory interneuron clades differ in birthdate, projections to motoneurons and heterogeneity

The paper identifies four V1 interneuron clades in the spinal cord based on birthdate, lineage, and connectivity, showing functional differences in their synaptic connections and circuit roles.
