Synaptic crossroads: navigating the circuits of movement
The anterior lateral motor area (ALM) is crucial in preparing and executing voluntary movements through its diverse neuronal subpopulations that target different subcortical areas. A recent study by Xu et al. utilized an elaborate viral tracing strategy in mice to provide comprehensive whole-brain m...

Zusammenfassung: | The anterior lateral motor area (ALM) is crucial in preparing and executing voluntary movements through its diverse neuronal subpopulations that target different subcortical areas. A recent study by Xu et al. utilized an elaborate viral tracing strategy in mice to provide comprehensive whole-brain maps of monosynaptic inputs to the major descending pathways of ALM.
