This study examines the maturation of Abducens motoneurons during larval development, showing increased discharge modulation in silent units and enhanced myelination in late larval stages.

This study examines developmental changes in indirect-pathway medium spiny neurons in HD mouse models, finding transient electrophysiological and anatomical alterations that may contribute to disease progression.

This study shows that microglia are essential for proper development of respiratory circuits in the mouse brainstem, as their absence leads to abnormal breathing rhythms and neonatal death.

The paper shows that in larval Xenopus, eye movements during swimming develop through changes in how locomotor efference copies and sensory signals interact, with a shift from canceling to summing vestibular inputs as the animal matures.

The paper demonstrates the conservation of locomotion-induced oculomotor activity in higher tetrapods by showing similar spino-extraocular motor coupling in mice and amphibians.

This study identifies a disynaptic circuit in the globus pallidus involving arkypallidal neurons that inhibits locomotion.
