This study constructs a cross-species spinal interneuron atlas and shows that Hox-dependent regionalization of circuits drives motor output diversity across vertebrate body regions.

The paper proposes spatial and network principles for locomotion generation in the spinal cord using a mouse model and integrates single-cell RNA sequencing with spatial transcriptomics.

The paper investigates neural dynamics underlying walking and stopping in rats, finding locomotion follows a limit-cycle attractor and stopping transitions to a fixed-point attractor.
