Shaping Body Movements through Interactions with Brainstem Neurons
Understanding how neuronal circuits regulate the enormous repertoire of movements is a key outstanding question in neuroscience. Neurons contributing to execution and learning of body movements are distributed throughout the nervous system. Control of body movements entails the engagement of connected brain motor centers to generate action commands, providing instructions for execution to the spinal cord. The brainstem as focus of this proposal represents an essential intermediary between upper planning and spinal executive motor circuits. Recent technological advances have led to the identification of brainstem neurons regulating diverse forms of body movement, including locomotion and…
