This study identifies a hypothalamic-pontine-spinal pathway that promotes locomotion and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in mice through optogenetic manipulation and deep brain stimulation.

The paper identifies post-inhibitory rebound firing as a mechanism by which inhibition promotes activation in limbic circuits to drive male mating.

The paper identifies a hypothalamic circuit involving Calb1+ neurons and Pomc+ neurons that coordinates β-endorphin release with ejaculation in male mice.

The paper identifies 31 projectome-defined subtypes of hypothalamic neurons and six modular subnetworks, revealing the organization of axon projections and their functional roles.

This study identifies sex differences in electrophysiological properties of mouse mPOA neurons using whole-cell recordings and shows their behavioral relevance.
