Synaptic crossroads: navigating the circuits of movement

Trends Neurosci. 2023 Sep 8:S0166-2236(23)00204-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2023.08.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 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.PMID:37690954 | DOI:10.1016/j.tins.2023.08.006
