The paper shows that environmental cues predicting future fasting rapidly activate AgRP neurons via a circuit involving PVHSim2 neurons.

The paper identifies Pitx2+ ascending propriospinal neurons in mice and shows their role in precise limb movements during skilled locomotion.

The paper identifies a novel population of Phox2b+ glial progenitors in the nodose ganglia of mice that give rise to all major glial subtypes and transiently express Phox2b.

This study identifies dB2 neurons as causative of CCHS by showing their role in respiratory functions and neonatal survival using genetic and functional approaches.

The paper identifies and characterizes Prox2+ and Runx3+ vagal sensory neurons and shows their essential roles in esophageal peristalsis and swallowing.

This study identifies molecular signatures for proprioceptor subtypes based on the muscle they innervate and shows that muscle identity is established early in development.

The paper uses snRNAseq to identify nuclear subtypes in skeletal muscle cells, revealing new compartments and functional signatures in dystrophic and regenerating muscle.

This study identifies Olig3 as a critical transcription factor regulating cerebellar development by specifying neuronal derivatives from progenitor zones and controlling Purkinje cell specification.
