An Optogenetic Demonstration of Motor Modularity in the Mammalian Spinal Cord

Motor modules are neural entities hypothesized to be building blocks of movement construction. How motor modules are underpinned by neural circuits has remained obscured. As a first step towards dissecting these circuits, we optogenetically evoked motor outputs from the lumbosacral spinal cord of tw...
