  "summary": "Fluid behavior requires temporal coordination across brain systems that orchestrate movement. A clear example is locomotion, in which left and right turns are not only precisely coordinated with the ongoing stepping rhythm but occur at opposite phases of the stepping cycle. The circuits underlying this coordination remain poorly understood. We discover that neuronal activity in the mouse superior…",
