  • On the anniversary of the Boyden et al. (2005) paper that introduced the use of channelrhodopsin in neurons, Nature Neuroscience asks selected members of the community to comment on the utility, impact and future of this important technique.

  • The authors use a combination of viral tracing and genetics to characterize the diversity of neurons projecting from mouse brainstem to motor neurons that control limb movements; in particular they discover that the medullary reticular formation ventral part (MdV) is functionally specialized for skilled forelimb motor control.

  • In the mouse caudal brainstem, functionally distinct neuronal subpopulations, which are distinguishable by neurotransmitter identity, connectivity and location, regulate locomotion parameters.

  • Reflex circuits are specifically formed between sensory and motor neurons based on the class of sensory cell and the muscle type innervated by the motor neuron. Here, this fine synaptic specificity is found to be mediated by selective expression of the class 3 semaphorin Sema3e and its high-affinity receptor plexin D1 (Plxnd1) by specific motor and sensory neuron populations, respectively.

  • This study reveals a functional map for skilled forelimb movements within the lateral rostral medulla of the brainstem on the basis of the identification of specific neuronal populations by axonal targets.

  • The transcription factor FoxP1 is important for the establishment of motor neuron diversification and connectivity. New studies indicate that it acts as an accessory factor for the transcriptional output of the Hox transcription factor network.

  • In this Review, Arber and Costa discuss the anatomical and functional specificity of circuitry essential for executing diverse body movements. They focus on specific neuronal populations in the brainstem and the basal ganglia, and the integration of these circuits into systems-level networks that afford flexibility and learning.
