Brain map clarifies neuronal connectivity behind motor function

76% Informative

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a whole-brain atlas visualizing regions of the brain that send direct inputs to V1 interneurons, a group of cells necessary for movement.

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneorons before they reach their destination.
