Organization and development of bilateral somatosensory feedback projections in mice.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sensory information travels from the periphery to the cortex across relays. Each of these stations receives feedback projections which gate and tune the transmission of feedforward information. We used whole brain imaging combined with viral strategies and single axon tracings to reveal the existence of a bilateral feedback projection from the somatosensory cortex to brainstem relays processing whisker information. Initially, after birth in mice, this feedback loop projects equally to both sides of the brainstem. Then, the projection strengthens preferentially toward the contralateral side while maintaining its ipsilateral component. We found that manipulating the laterality of the feedforward pathway from the brainstem to the opposite cortex altered the laterality preference of the descending feedback projections. This suggests a dynamic interplay between ascending and descending pathways in shaping sensory processing. This study highlights the presence of bilateral integration within the somatosensory system's feedback projections.
