Corticospinal motor circuits

Mental Landscapes: The Brain-Spine Connection November 4, 2021 | by ZI Communications team

Nelson et al. reveal how the widespread axon collaterals of corticospinal neurons are organized throughout the nervous system, and how projections to the striatum and spinal cord are coordinated through cell type-specific connectivity. The cover art depicts virally labeled corticospinal neurons in green in and corticostriatal neurons in purple; cell nuclei are in light blue.
