The paper identifies topographic organization in locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons, linking their morphology, gene expression, and activity to specific brain regions and learning-related behaviors.

The paper shows that corrective sub-movements during mouse reaching are encoded in cerebellar neurons and instructively shape future feedforward control through timing-based learning.

The paper investigates how cerebellar associative learning influences skilled reach adaptation in mice by analyzing neural responses and optogenetic perturbations.

The paper quantifies mouse reach kinematics using analytical frameworks and machine learning, finding conserved primate-like features with notable differences and highlighting kinematic adjustments in motor control.

This study shows that cerebellar output modulates reach velocity in mice with graded and bidirectional control, acting as a scalable kinematic command signal.
