Muscle anatomy is reflected in the spatial organization of the spinal motoneuron pools

Abstract Neural circuits embed limb dynamics for motor control and sensorimotor integration. The somatotopic organization of motoneuron pools in the spinal cord may support these computations. Here, we tested if the spatial organization of motoneurons is related to the musculoskeletal anatomy. We cr...
