This study identifies cell-type specific activity in the cuneiform and pedunculopontine nuclei of mice during locomotion, non-locomotor behaviors, and sensory stimulation.

This paper develops a spiking neuromechanical model of the salamander spinal cord to show that intermediate proprioceptive feedback improves locomotion coordination and robustness.

The paper identifies a neural circuit in salamanders that transforms visual input into motor output, linking retinal input to spinal motor neurons via the tectum and reticular nucleus.

This study shows that mice can brake and turn during optogenetic stimulation of the MLR, with speed and turn angle scaling to pre-turn speed.

This study shows astrocytes modulate layer 5 pyramidal neuron firing in the mouse visual cortex through S100β-mediated changes in extracellular calcium and Nav1.6 channel activation.

This paper presents a method for patch-clamp recordings in salamander brain slices of telencephalon, diencephalon, and rhombencephalon, enabling cellular-level study of neural circuits.
