Editorial: Dysfunction and Repair of Neural Circuits for Motor Control

[...]a paramount challenge for the field is to harmonize and integrate effectively the increasing number of studies that separately focus on molecular events in single cells (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics) or on cellular phenotypes in neurons and glia (e.g., neuronal dysfunction, neurodegeneration, synaptic plasticity, astrocytic, or microglia proliferation) (Stuart and Satija, 2019). The topic on Dysfunction and Repair of Neural Circuits for Motor Control is devoted to neuronal circuits involving cortical, spinal, and peripheral neurons in healthy and pathological conditions.
