Zhang H, Deska-Gauthier D, MacKay C, Hari K, Lucas-Osma A, Borowska-Fielding J, et al.
Cell Rep . 2025 Jan; 44(1):115212. PMID: 39817902
While considerable progress has been made in understanding the neuronal circuits that underlie the patterning of locomotor behaviors, less is known about the circuits that amplify motoneuron output to adjust...

Gradwell M, Ozeri-Engelhard N, Eisdorfer J, Laflamme O, Gonzalez M, Upadhyay A, et al.
Neuron . 2024 Mar; 112(8):1302-1327.e13. PMID: 38452762
Sensory feedback is integral for contextually appropriate motor output, yet the neural circuits responsible remain elusive. Here, we pinpoint the medial deep dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord as...

Laflamme O, Markin S, Deska-Gauthier D, Banks R, Zhang Y, Danner S, et al.
Curr Biol . 2023 Aug; 33(16):3452-3464.e4. PMID: 37531957
Crossed reflexes are mediated by commissural pathways transmitting sensory information to the contralateral side of the body, but the underlying network is not fully understood. Commissural pathways coordinating the activities...

Laflamme O, Markin S, Banks R, Zhang Y, Danner S, Akay T
bioRxiv . 2023 Feb; PMID: 36824871
Crossed reflexes (CR) are mediated by commissural pathways transmitting sensory information to the contralateral side of the body, but the underlying network is not fully understood. Commissural pathways coordinating the...

Khan M, Cherukuri P, Negro F, Rajput A, Fabrowski P, Bansal V, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2022 Dec; 20(12):e3001923. PMID: 36542664
The ability of terrestrial vertebrates to effectively move on land is integrally linked to the diversification of motor neurons into types that generate muscle force (alpha motor neurons) and types...

Santuz A, Akay T
J Physiol . 2022 Dec; 601(2):275-285. PMID: 36510697
Muscle spindles, one of the two main classes of proprioceptors together with Golgi tendon organs, are sensory structures that keep the central nervous system updated about the position and movement...

Santuz A, Laflamme O, Akay T
J Physiol . 2022 Oct; 600(24):5267-5294. PMID: 36271747
Robust locomotion relies on information from proprioceptors: sensory organs that communicate the position of body parts to the spinal cord and brain. Proprioceptive circuits in the spinal cord are known...

Laflamme O, Ibrahim M, Akay T
J Neurophysiol . 2022 Jan; 127(2):493-503. PMID: 34986055
Motor responses in one leg to sensory stimulation of the contralateral leg have been named "crossed reflexes" and are extensively investigated in cats and humans. Despite this effort, a circuit-level...
