Molecular Diversity of V1 Interneurons

Caption

The image illustrates the molecular diversity of V1 inhibitory interneurons (indicated in green) in the mouse lumbar spinal cord. Subsets of V1 interneurons can be defined by the activation of particular combinations of transcription factors (indicated in red, blue, and gray), forming a complex network of microcircuits that likely influence limb motor control.
