Article Synopsis
- Cells in tissues need to stay in contact to develop and function correctly; however, mitosis can disrupt these connections.
- Research on zebrafish embryos with abnormal mitosis indicates that proper cell division is crucial for maintaining contact in developing tissues.
- A specific gene linked to mitosis abnormalities leads to increased cell detachment in mutant embryos, disrupting tissue formation during development.
Motor control is critical in daily life as well as in artistic and athletic performance and thus is the subject of intense interest in neuroscience. Mouse models of movement disorders have proven valuable for many aspects of investigation, but adequate methods for analyzing complex motor control in mouse models have not been fully established. Here, we report the development of a novel running-wheel system that can be used to evoke simple and complex stepping patterns in mice.
