To elicit voluntary movements and integrative reflexes underlying behavior, the brain sends command signals to the spinal cord via specialized long-range descending neurons, known as spinal-projecting neurons (SPNs). The vast and widespread distribution of SPNs, combined with their complex long-distance connectivity, poses a significant challenge for mapping their anatomical organization and…
