CHARACTERIZATION OF HB9 INTERNEURONS: BEHAVIOUR AND ANATOMY
(2017-05-11)Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neuronal circuits that are responsible for the generation of rhythmic behaviours such as locomotion. It has been suggested that a population of spinal interneurons (INs), known as Hb9 ... -
THE FUNCTIONS OF MOUSE SPINAL V3 INTERNEURONS IN LOCOMOTION
(2020-08-28)V3 interneurons (INs) are a major group of glutamatergic commissural neurons in the mouse spinal cord. They directly innervate motor neurons (MNs) as well as other ventral INs. Although it has been shown that V3 INs are ... -
Locomotor Compensation for Severe Motor Neuron Loss during Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disease Progression
(2018-01-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes progressive motor neuron (MN) degeneration leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death. When symptoms are detected in ALS patients and model animals (SOD1G93A mice) ... -
Spinal circuitry underlying crossed reflex
(2022-08-30)Sensory information is used to generate various behaviour including protective and corrective reflexes. Following perturbation in one leg, motor activity can be elicited in the contralateral side of the body known as a ...
