Do comparator modules exist within spinal circuits? We show that spinal dI3 neurons integrate multimodal sensory feedback, receive direct efference copy from Renshaw cells, and mediate corrections of ongoing movements. Thank you to everyone involved!! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Evidence of spinal cord comparator modules for rapid corrections of movements

Successful movement requires continuous adjustments in response to changes in internal and external environments. To do so, neural circuits continuously compare efference copies of motor commands...

For those using EMG recordings of F-waves as a diagnostic tool: we suggest that the F-wave is generated by synaptic inputs to motoneurons, rather than rebound excitation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

On the origin of F-wave: involvement of central synaptic mechanisms

Neurophysiological methods are used widely to gain information about motoneuron excitability and axon conduction in neurodegenerative diseases. The F-wave is a common biomarker used to test motoneu...

Although most research on #dystonia has tied the condition to disrupted circuits in the brain, new work in mice shows that inherited, early-onset dystonia can develop solely from abnormal neural circuits in the spinal cord. @ScienceTM scim.ag/2yL
