Motor control: Snake neurons speed up

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

How are motor neurons tuned for very different jobs? Classic work has focused on variations in motor neuron size and their premotor networks. New results in rattlesnakes show that shifting a motor neuron's temporal precision can be as simple as changing its potassium channel conductance.
