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...

Our new study suggests that changes in facial grimacing may better predict analgesic potential than traditional evoked nociceptive measures. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4070… P.S. It is easy to quantify facial grimacing in black and white mice using PainFace (painface.net/).

Big congrats to @aluskin @mbruchas et al., on their paper on circuits controlling LC neurons. Lots of interesting data on the peri-LC cell types, connectivity, and function to dig into here.

5) Reducing this inhibition resulted in altered limb kinematics (hyperflexion at swing-to-stance), altered gait (preference for ‘fast’ walking), and reduced transitions between sub-movements during spontaneous behavior.

6) The deep dorsal horn plays an important role in sensory-evoked inhibition of motor networks. Without this inhibition, the timing and magnitude of the sensory cues that guide motor output go awry, reducing the ability for smooth motor performance.
