AbstractThe neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here we delineate activity supporting motor planning in relation to the mesoscale cortico-cerebellar connectome. In mice planning directional licking based on short-term memory, preparatory activity instructing future movement depends on the anterior lateral motor cortex (ALM) and the cerebellum.

IntroductionAs wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a significant energy and protein resource for human beings, its production will have to increase by another 50% in the next 20 years to feed the growing world population (International Wheat Yield Partnership, https://iwyp.org/), making it imperative to improve wheat grain yield and quality. Plant architecture such as plant height, tiller number, tiller angle, and panicle morphology, is critical for grain yield in many cereal crops, including wheat.
