Sensory feedback synchronizes motor and sensory neuronal networks in the neonatal rat spinal cord

Spontaneous movements are important for mammalian development but how network activity underlies the generation of these actions remains unclear. Here the authors show that both spontaneous twitches and complex movements enable correlated activity in motor and sensory networks of the rat spinal cord...
