Decades of social-scientific evidence show that voting behavior is primarily a product of inherited partisan loyalties, social identities and symbolic attachments. Over time, engaged citizens may construct policy preferences and ideologies that rationalize their choices, but those issues are seldom fundamental
social identity theory
Policy preferences, over time, take a back seat to the team loyalty that is bound to grow out of these increasingly homogeneous and isolated partisan collections.
we care more about the group than policy
Imagine how much more intense the Robbers Cave conflict would have been had the Rattlers all been Catholic, northern, and white, while the Eagles were Protestant, southern, and black.
would've been horrible
When winning becomes as important as or more important than the content of those policies, real people feel the consequences
this is so important to remember
People’s brains respond similarly when people are sad and when they are observing a sad ingroup member, but when they are observing a sad outgroup member, their brains respond by activating areas of positive emotion
this is kinda sad
when learning a new task, a person will learn more slowly if he or she is being observed by an outgroup member.
even effects tasks
Tajfel and his colleagues found evidence of ingroup bias: a preference for or privileging of the ingroup over the outgroup.
we like our group
For those who change political preferences most readily are those who are least interested, who are subject to conflicting social pressures, who have inconsistent beliefs and erratic voting histories. Without them—if the decision were left only to the deeply concerned, well-integrated, consistently principled ideal citizens—the political system might easily prove too rigid to adapt to changing domestic and international conditions
we kinda need those less interested or educated so to speak
However, if a person is a member of one party and also a member of another social group that is mostly made up of fellow partisans, the biasing and polarizing effect of partisanship can grow stronger
others effect us more than we know/ we tend to be very multifaceted
, they were the prescription for a responsible electorate.
interesting way to view parties
American partisans today prefer to live in neighborhoods with members of their own party, expressing less satisfaction with their neighborhood when told that opposing partisans live there
even impacts where we live
Emerging research has shown that members of both parties negatively stereotype members of the opposing party, and the extent of this partisan stereotyping has increased by 50 percent between 1960 and 2010
that's a very large jump and increase
The “we” that is promised to win is a crucial element for understanding the election of Donald Trump and, more broadly, recent politics in the American electorate as a whole.
so true
In very basic ways, group identification and conflict change the way we think and feel about ourselves and our opponents.

By the end of the second week, twenty-two highly similar boys who had met only two weeks before had formed two nearly warring tribes, with only the gentle nudge of isolation and competition to encourage them.

Planning and designing for urban agriculture are also linked to concepts of “spatial sovereignty”, which stresses the need to participate in or have autonomy over urban space
This is at odds with techno-utopian visions of urban ag like the "vertical farming" put forward by Despommier and others https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/science/dickson-despommier-dead.html
“amateurism” as a radical practice that includes “the arts of speaking, inhabiting, cooking and so on”
Curious about this. Is the aim inclusivity/participation?
the desire of citizens to take part in urban design
Those that have the time and means
mapping urban food also means to map urban space and those who inhabit it.
This makes sense, but I don't think it excludes regional scale (like the Costa Rican GI maps) or transect maps (like we saw in Sharifi 2016, 9)
The prac- tice of exploration is “mapping”
important to acknowledge the latent history of colonialism in the term "exploration"
slip behind the carto- graphic lines and disrupt the univocal map as an impartial image, unsettle the cartographic party and expose the dynamic between map- ping space and having control over space.
Are they encouraging an equivalence of map and territory? Probably not...maybe more like using mapping as provocation to re-orient flows of power.

The results reported in this paper may be biased by the reuse of the same control samples for comparing multiple conditions (e.g. RES and SUS vs. CON in Fig. 1e,f). This issue--identified by Karl Pearson in 1897!--is explained in a slightly different context in a recent preprint by Nicol et al.
Comparisons of differential expression between groups should be performed by using an appropriate statistical model with an interaction term, as I discussed here.
These characteristics including a huge dollop of capitalism, it seems. Yes.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the official ideology of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) conceived by Deng Xiaoping. It maintains the foundational Socialist and Marxist principles but combines it with Capitalistic characteristics like free markets. It simply means adapting socialist/Marxist principles, which were sufficient for their time, and molding them into an ideology that is perfect for present-day China while considering its history and economic infrastructure.
Perhaps it's time pull down our pants and have a seat.
This is in realization that bringing about this change, particularly legislature-wise, will be tedious, perhaps more than expected. Hilariously Robinson uses the pulling down of pants metaphorically as a commitment to the struggle to come, which is like an episode of constipation.
Chapter 39's hostage of world leaders at the World Economic Forum who come out of the experience with an unchanged mind is evidence of this. It will take time for key stakeholders' minds to change.
Eventually, terrorism seems to be what changes minds for Robinson's utopia.

Afterwards, a large replication project of social-science experiments published in Nature and Science (Camerer et al., 2018) did not reproduce the main effect of the study
If an experiment produces a clear result but a later replication fails to reproduce it, how should researchers decide whether the original finding was unreliable or whether the difference came from the conditions of the replication?
dense columns mean converging work, sparse columns mean thin evidence, empty columns mean a gap
An empty column might mean that the research is missing, but couldn't it also mean our search strategy failed to find the relevant studies? I think we should be careful about claiming a research gap based only on the papers we selected.
Every database has its own syntax for Boolean operators, wildcards and field limits, and a search log records which syntax was used where.
I noticed this when searching for my assignment. The same keywords gave very different numbers of results in ACM Digital Library and Google Scholar. It made me realise that the number of hits depends on how the database searches and indexes papers, not necessarily how much relevant research exists.
That's a bad thought.No it isn't. Why would you say that?Corruption, stupidity—Rule of law.But—But me no buts. Rule of law.What a weak reed to stand on!Yes.What can we do about that?Just make it stick.
A paper investigating whose opinions matter when it comes to policy change found that policy makers are better at responding to advantaged groups than to disadvantaged ones.
Perhaps this is why one of the characters expresses a disillusionment with the thought a few government legislators, prone to "corruption[and] stupidity," get to have such consequential influence over the economy.
The other emphasizes the rule of law and insists to "make it stick", that is, to make it work, rather than dismissing it, or abandoning it altogether.
In Stanley's novel, this disillusionment with the system may embellish anarchy but that wouldn't be sustainable, at least not as far as The Ministry's goals of climate reform are concerned. What instead needs to happen is for the legislators to be less corrupt, less stupid. Given that the law mirrors the character of the legislators, perhaps the resultant policies will mirror a decline in "corruption" and "stupidity" in government legislators, and consequentially, climate reform will be a salient agendum.

Advanced Typing - Shortcuts (1943)
Advanced Typing: Shortcuts. 16 mm. Vol. MN-1512c. United States Navy Training Film, 1943. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJfCfqgsX0.
Correct typing posture: fingers curved<br /> arms sloping up<br /> light fast strokes<br /> steady rhythm
fast continuous motion of return lever<br /> using backing sheet (aka temping sheet ??)
Shortcuts:<br /> mise en place for office supplies (she doesn't use this phrasing though) - greater efficiency - cuts down on searching
tabulators can be helpful. There are two types:<br /> - automatic - handset
Use tabs for paragraphs, dating letters, columns of numbers, and letter closings.
To clear all tab stops, put carriage to left, hold tab clear key and move the carriage across. (Usually applies to Royal, Remington, Underwood, and Electromatic).
On LC Smith and Woodstock machines sometimes have a tab clear lever on the back.
Decimal tabulator keys help to align a variety of numbers around a decimal point. 09:43
Always have a few tabs set to prevent a flying carriage which can be hard on the machine.
When using carbon sheets which are slightly longer than the paper size, cut off a small triangle at the top left hand side. This makes it easier for one to separate the carbons from the copies by holding the top left with one hand and pulling the carbons out from the bottom of the stack.
To align multiple sheets of paper for carbon copies, use a folded sheet at the top to taco the pages into the machine. Remove the folded sheet once the carbon pack is rolled forward.
Paper bail rollers should be set to split the pages into thirds (for two rollers).
Remington noiseless machines have a pressure indicator on the front of the machine (usually above the keyboard) which can be used when using thick carbon packs that may cause the ribbon guide to stick or bind.
Only erase when the carriage is fully left or right to prevent eraser crumbs from falling into the machine. 15:26
Use a soft eraser on carbon copies. Use and insert slips of paper behind the carbons and allowing them to stick out the sides, erasing from back sheet to front so as not to allow the eraser to mark your carbon copies. For the front sheet, use a shield and ink eraser and erase with a horizontal motion. After erasing, easily pull out the inserted sheets.
When typing a correction, tap the key lightly two or three times rather than hard once.
When in a rush and it's necessary to add a word (on double spacing), underline the last letter of the prior word and type a slash (/). Then move the typing line up and type the insertion above the prior line. This creates an "arrow" of sorts for the inserted word.
Details for inserting extra letters in misspelled words using half-spacing machines. (Underwoods and Electromatics don't have this function.)
Light pencil marks at the bottom of the sheet can help to indicate the coming bottom of the sheet.
Putting up the card holders (fingers) on Underwoods and Royals. They help to hold the card and improve print quality and reduce noise.
Card holders can cause markings on carbon packs if they're not lowered.
Trick for quickly writing postcards in succession: Disengage the ratchet using the platen spring release (or variable platen switch) Type the address on the front of the card. When done give the platen a quick practiced spin. The postcard with "jump" up and stop at the paper table and be in position for rolling in the opposite direction to write the message on the back of the card! When done a faster spin of the platen will shoot the card over the back of the typewriter where it can land in a box to collect all the postcards which were written in such a manner. <br /> timestamp 23:22
Time saving methods for addressing envelopes:
Front seat principle. Insert the envelope in the usual way and type out the address. When done, turn the envelope down through the machine with the right hand. With the left hand, place the next envelope between the top of the first envelope and the front of the platen. Feed the first envelope back through the machine (in reverse) and the second will be rolled in to place for typing. Continue in this fashion until finished. All the finished envelopes will stack up in the back at the paper table.
Chain feeding. The first envelope is inserted and rolled partway into the machine. A second envelope is inserted between the platen and the second envelope (behind the platen). Turn the first envelope to the writing line and type the address. Take out the first envelope and insert the next the same way as before.
Uses paper bail. Do the first envelope in the usual way. Spin it out of the machine up and behind the paper bail into a box behind the typewriter.
For quickly doing labels or small cards: (27:29) Create a small zig-zag fold into a piece of paper to create a pocket slot which can be scotch taped on either side. This template paper can then be inserted so that the pocket is visible above the writing line, but the paper below it is still in the platen. The label or card can be placed into the pocket and the platen reversed to feed the label or card in backwards to the desired typing line. Using a v-groove or hole in the typing line can create a pencil line to serve as a guide for inserting many labels at the same place so that the typing lines up between labels.
Some offices had special platens for holding cards like this.
Pockets like this can also be used to hold the page to add additional lines at the bottom of pages. Deeper pockets may need to be used for doing this with carbon packs whose carbons are longer than the pages.
Alternately one can do something similar by creating a inverted u-shaped set of slits into an index card. to hold such labels.
When in the midst of a page and needing to do another piece urgently, roll back the letter until about 2 inches from the top, and then place in the new page and one between each of the carbons. Then roll forward to do the short message as necessary. Turn back to the insertion position to remove the copies and then continue with the first letter where you left off.
For drawing horizontal lines on typewriter paper, push the carriage to the extreme left and place the pencil or pen at the edge of the card guide and the scale. Then move the carriage to the right to effect the line. For vertical lines, put the carriage at the desired space and place the pencil at the card guide and scale and move the platen up/down as necessary.

The treaty was actually a dynamic and evolving entity that allowed the treatment of Germany to be adapted and made either more strict or conciliatory depending on its post-war behaviour.
While the treaty was harsh, it could be modified in the future to account for any changes in Germany's economic, political, etc. outlook. It was therefore at the Wests discretion to modify the terms to allow for the best outcome. It was ultimately a lack of Western intervention and sustained European crisis which led to a break down of the peace treaties
refusal by the senate to ratify the treaty robbed him of these means to influence the immediate post-war period.
US influence was dramatically weakened by the refusal to ratify the Versailles Treaty
he could control the evolution of the situation through the League of Nations, by settling the issue of reparations later (they were not definitively resolved in the treaty) and by the means of pressure bound up in France and England’s war debts to the United States.
Wilson sought to prevent a full discrimination of Germany through US influence in the League and Allied economic dependence on the US
onvinced as they were that the Rhenish were of a different nature than the “Prussians”, they thought that the former would end up accepting and even embracing the French presence.
French leaders conceded in the hope that postwar plebiscites would ensure French control of the Saarland and Rhineland (along with German failures of reparation payments)
Treaty of Versailles was the product of profound agreement between the United States, England and France, despite their differences, to sustainably weaken Germany politically, militarily and economically.
Treaty of Versailles came out of the Allied determination to dramatically weaken Germany and to prevent her return to great power status
such discrimination could only be temporary and would have to cease when Berlin had conformed to the new economic and political world order
Wilson merely sought German alignment on the new order in order to welcome Germany back into the international order
Above all, however, the British and French disagreed with Wilson on one fundamental point: for them, the economic and political organization of the post-war world (the League of Nations and economic agreements between the Allies) needed to exclude Germany for a very long time, even if it was democratized
Anglo-French leaders sought to exclude Germany from the postwar order to prevent a return of German influence in Europe
difficult for Paris to accept Wilson’s new policy; even after it had done so, the French rallied for the creation of states that were as powerful as possible, with little heed for their ethnic coherence
Powerful states which could contain Germany (ethnic coherence was ignored in favor of balance of power concerns)
creation of a greater Poland, including Lithuania and part of Ukraine, based on the idea that under such conditions it could keep Germany in check
France sought an intact Austria-Hungary and Greater Poland which could serve as a check to German power (balance of power concerns at the forefront)
feared that were Austria reduced to its German-speaking population it would quickly join the Reich and, more broadly, that Germany would easily dominate such a fractured Central-Eastern Europe
France feared that Wilsonianism would actually leave a fractured Central Europe which Germany could easily take advantage of, which would leave France much less secure
control by the Allies of the main global raw materials and the possibility of subjecting the Reich to economic and trade discrimination. Wilson now accepted the principle of using such “economic weapons”, which he had previously rejected.
The Allies would now use any tools to weaken German influence
geographical influence of the Reich needed to be drastically reduced and Wilson now agreed with the British and especially French positions on this matter.
German influence at its greatest territorial extent, could not be allowed to persist in any way, out of fear of its imperialistic ambitions (as shown in the Brest-Litovsk Treaty)
these treaties persuaded the Allies, and Wilson in particular, of the totally and definitively imperialist nature of German policy, which in turn spurred a new toughening in their attitude.
German Military Imperialism spurred the Allies to expand and toughen their war aims against the Central Powers
This strategy was in part a success since, when the armistice was declared on 11 November 1918, the Reich indeed obtained the guarantee that peace would be based on the Fourteen Points, but it was only partial since Wilson had considerably toughened his attitude towards Germany since the spring, although it took a while before this was fully understood in Berlin.
US toughness would undercut this strategy, a position which would only be realized too late amongst the German leaders
based on attempting to use Wilson’s Fourteen Points to undercut the much more offensive French and English projects.
Baden sought to use the US to undercut the Anglo-French and thus secure more lenient terms
ast chancellor under Wilhelm II, Max von Baden (1867-1929), decided to embrace Wilson’s Fourteen Points.
Germany saw the 14 Points as reasonable and could serve as an ideal position for negotiations (however, their hopes of a negotiations along the 14 points would be shattered in 1919)
The military leaders’ theses were as such losing ground. This was of course even more patent following the large-scale military routs in August
The failure of decisive victory, and thus discrediting of the German military leaders, meant that the position of negotiated peace finally won out in Germany
Berlin and the Bolsheviks agreed to collaborate, possibly even militarily, against the Whites and against any attempted Allied intervention.
Bolshevik cooperation was seen as critical to prevent large Allied demands postwar
simply trying to collect the right cards to use when negotiating a peace agreement in order to obtain the best possible conditions and notably avoid letting the Allies deprive Germany of its colonies and subject it to permanent economic discrimination
Civilian leaders however, saw the victory in the East as an essential negotiating point which would ensure favorable peace terms (with the US joining the war, decisive victory was seen as impossible)
military leaders, the peace treaties in the East were meant to allow them to assume the offensive in the West and win the war before the massive arrival of American troops; this is what was attempted with the series of offensive battles that began in late March on the Western front
Military leaders saw the victory in the east as the chance to finally secure their decisive victory and achieve maximum gain
these treaties were harsh: Romania became a political and economic protectorate of the Central Powers, Russia lost Poland, Finland, the Baltic States and, worse still, Ukraine, with all of these regions fated to actually become German protectorates.
Germanies victory in the East dramatically escalated, German territorial ambitions
Wilson’s position changed following events in the spring of 1918 and in the end allowed for a convergence of war aims between the Allies and America; a convergence that was not absolute but nonetheless sufficient to win the war and impose the treaties of 1919
Wilson understood the need to compromise and allow for a convergence of Allied war aims which could secure a definite (though not permanent) peace.
understandable that the British and especially French Allies – who had much more radical territorial and economic claims against the Reich and that had no intention of admitting Germany into the new post-war international order – were actually quite disappointed by the Fourteen Points
Fourteen Points clashed with the War Aims of the British and French and led to considerable conflict and debate between the Three Great Powers after WW1
American president was still convinced that the Reich would remain the most influential state in mainland Europe and would heavily influence Central and Eastern Europe; this seemed inevitable and acceptable so long as Berlin embraced the international rules of Wilsonianism;
Germany could retain its influence as long as it submitted to US ideals (and US dominance) in the postwar era
new in advancing war aims that, for the first time, were based on principles that were clearly understandable for public opinion and that resonated greatly, even among the Central Powers.
US would advance war aims that, outside traditional European power politics, could be delineated along principled lines
countered their exclusive and traditional territorial and economic aims with the Open Door policy; and he refused to be referred to as an Ally, preferring to be called an “associate” of London and Paris.
US would operate as an independent power, not subject to European power wrangling
Open diplomacy, the right of peoples to self-determination, freedom of the seas, disarmament: this was the policy that Wilson began to defend with increasing resolve, in the name of the global spread of America’s liberal, political and economic values.
Wilson saw the spread of US values as key to creating a new world order which would prevent costly wars and protect US interests
In 1916, as Wilson gradually realized that the United States could not indefinitely keep out of the war, he slowly abandoned this fundamentally isolationist perspective and embraced an internationalist vision in which America played a much more active role in the world
US threatened by European war, would need to take a more active role in the world in order to secure US interests and prevent war
president was convinced that the Allies and Central Powers would form closed and inward-looking economic blocks after the war; since the United States would not be able to stop this situation, a modernized Monroe Doctrine would be required to draw in South America and as such replace European influence and interests.
Wilson saw a renewed Monroe Doctrine which would strengthen the US block which could rival the European blocks
ilson did not want to see Germany crushed, he felt that an Allied victory – which at first he nonetheless wanted to be as limited as possible – would by and large be preferable as the latter were more liberal and democratic than the Reich.
Wilson wanted to see the Allies gain ascendency to create a new world order, which the former Central Powers could be included into (should they meet the necessary conditions)
Georges Clemenceau’s (1841-1929) arrival in power in November, and the support of public opinion, put an end to the atmosphere of pacifism and pushed aside all possibilities other than victory. Britain, too, took a tougher stance and for the first time notably demanded the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France when a peace agreement was signed
1918 saw a toughening stance as both sides, increasingly desperate to achieve victory, went all out in their determination for victory and thus saw a subsequent toughening of their war aims
Encouraged by the October Revolution and the possibility of a separate peace with Russia in the near future, Germany also toughened its stance and again envisaged making Belgium a close protectorate.
Military victory led to increased war aims
decided to reject it despite Lloyd George’s contrary opinion. Indeed, most of the cabinet felt that if the Reich was able to become stronger in the East at Russia’s expense, then it would resume hostilities a few years later in the West under much better conditions.
While negotiated peace was possible neither side wanted to strengthen its enemies and therefore leave itself weakened in return
military impasse and social and political problems were beginning to lead some leaders to seriously consider the possibility of a negotiated peace rather than peace imposed by victory or at least shaped by a position of force for the first time since the start of the war.
Negotiated peace became more appealing as leaders struggled to achieve a decisive victory
only complete annexation was set aside as it no longer fit with the new spirit that accompanied America’s declaration of war and the Russian Revolution.
Annexation was rejected as policy as self-determination and popular rule overcame foreign rule of self determining polities (this however did not apply to colonial subjects)
rejected “all thought of conquest” but restated the goal of “defeating Prussian militarism” and the need “to obtain solid guarantees of peace”
France rejected conquest but still wished for guarantees of security (land claims, reparations, demilitarization, etc?)
defining war aims thereafter, however, it became necessary to refer at least approximately to principles that could be stated publicly: public opinion was now a witness to countries’ war aims.
War aims now began to be influenced by ideological concerns as public opinion held greater sway on the articulation of the war aims
Berlin and the Allies had played by the rules of traditional power politics
Traditional power politics at work prior to 1917
Whether they liked it or not, this forced the belligerent parties to take Wilsonian principles into account when defining their war aims.
Wilsonianism would become greatly influential as the Allies became more dependent on US support
It was in this context that the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, that had largely divided the Middle East between the two countries, was challenged at France’s expense in 1917 by British policy aimed at the Arab world, which it wanted to encourage to rise up against Turkey, and by the Balfour Declaration that announced the creation of a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine
British policy of nationalist promises would turn on French and British Imperial Ambitions in the Postwar era
aims sometimes conflicted with the French, who also wanted to mark their presence in the Middle East
Imperial Conflict and Rivalry between Britain and France would have consequences in the post-war future
London’s main goals at the time were to free Belgium, break up the Turkish empire and strongly increase Britain’s presence in the Middle East;
British war aims were largely colonially motivated (as well as maintaining its honor and moral position through the restoration of Belgium)
British felt that it was essential, however, to control the sea front and keep Germany from gaining ocean access – and thus to chase it out of Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.
Britain saw German Central European control and that only be restricting German influence to Europe would prevent it from becoming a true superpower
war would instead be driven full throttle ahead, notably with the support of the United States which appeared to be on the verge of entering the war and upon whom the British were counting to reach their aims, even if it meant having to share the management of world affairs in the post-war period.
Britain was committed to the war in 1916 and sought to ensure the completion of its war aims through the support of the United States (though this would leave the United States in a powerful position vis a vis Britain)
to drastically reduce Germany’s economic influence
French and Britain would work together to manage raw material imports in order to restrict German influence
This project for economic growth was based on a complex strategy: in addition to the impact on the steel industry that would accompany the return of Alsace-Lorraine and the control of the Saarland and Luxembourg, the French wanted to form a customs union with Belgium and Italy to finally bring continental Western Europe under French economic influence.
French customs union would serve to retain French western continental dominance
additional boost to the potential of France’s iron and steel industry that would come with the acquisition of Lorraine, the Saarland and Luxembourg would place France alongside Great Britain and not far behind Germany
France saw Germany's lands as necessary to ensure French economic equality to Germany and Britain
security was understood by French leaders in two senses: strategic security, of course, thence the desire to control the Rhine by one means or another; but also economic security, to the extent that they had understood that security in the 20th century was inseparable from industrial influence.
Strategic security: military and political advantage over Germany through buffer zones, strategic alliances, and the substantial weakening of the German polity Economic security: economic advantage over Germany through the seizure of wealth lands (to make up for French losses), reparations, and the weakening of the German economy
More than truly imperialist ambition, this set of aims was the product of an obsession with security tied to the fear of Germany’s influence and impetus.
French obsession with national security especially due to the German threat
France wanted to be given free reign by its Allies to settle the issue as it pleased when a peace agreement was signed. Aside from the Saarland and perhaps the Rhineland, Germany would also lose other provinces, notably to Russia, and the entire country’s unity might even be challenged.
France wanted a clean slate to deal with the German Problem as it pleased (after the disaster of 1870), in order to ensure French national security and territorial ambitions
there was no question that Belgian independence needed to be restored and, beyond that, the decision had already been made to reduce Germany’s influence, especially its military and naval force, and also to chase the Reich out of Africa and limit the spread of its influence in the Middle East.
Britain sought to limit German influence through the seizing of German colonial possessions and by limiting its military force
French leaders very quickly introduced the idea of “guarantees” required for peace in view of the post-war period; this vague expression meant that in any case, they would go beyond the mere reclaiming of Alsace-Lorraine, even if their war aims were not yet fully defined
French would need guarantees, most notably of land, to ensure their security in any peace deal
addition to the return of Alsace-Lorraine, of course –, the possibility of connecting to France in one form or another the Saarland, Luxembourg and the Rhineland;
Creation of a greater France at the expense of Germany
war would be pursued beyond the liberation of French territory and until the “downfall of Prussian militarism”, a coded way of saying that the unity of the Reich would be challenged when a peace treaty was signed.
War was fought not merely to defend French territory (or restore French territorial integrity) but also to destroy the unity of the German Reich (e.g. land seizures)
outset of the war, the Allies were far more set on drastically curtailing the political, military and economic influence of Germany than has long been admitted, particularly France and Russia which, starting in 1912, had a similar reaction to what they felt was a growing German threat
Allies were far more determined to curb the influence of Germany than simply defend their own influence
military leaders were less accommodating, but although they were very influential, it is nonetheless excessive to say, as is often the case, that they actually ruled the country starting in the autumn of 1916
While the military leaders were influential, it wasn't until the smashing victories in the East that their vision of maximum expansionism was legitimated
Emperor was torn between the position held by the chancellor and that defended by military leaders
Military leaders pushed to use all options at their disposal to win a victory in the West (and secure maximum gain) while the diplomats pushed for reason
Berlin in turn toughened its aims anew:
With separate peace out of the question, Germany decided to expand its aims to protect its domestic legitimacy
early 1916 it was obvious that these different attempts at a separate peace had failed, notably due to the Allies’ determination to put an end to what they called “the hegemony of Prussian militarism” and drastically curb the influence of Germany in Europe
Separate peace failed as the Allies sought to end the threat of German militarism permanently
only a separate peace with an adversary of the Reich would allow it to win a decisive military victory over the others.
Land claims would therefore need to be kept reasonable in order to entice an Allied power to sue for a separate peace
Finally, the word in Berlin was always that an economic Mitteleuropa would be conditional on its acceptance by the Allies in the peace treaties,
Mitteleeuropa would depend on victory over the Allies
only means to keep Austria-Hungary closely tied to Germany after the war, as well as Belgium and Poland, without having to resort to large-scale annexations that would not be easily accepted by Europe, once Germany had abandoned all hope (actually just after the Marne debacle) of a total victory over the Allies.
Customs Union was seen as a way of preserving German control without resorting to massive annexations which would only further antagonize her enemies in a time where total victory had slipped away from her
main challenge was to rein in the annexationist zeal of Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941) and the military leaders who were seriously contemplating the annexation of Belgian Flanders, the North of France up to the Somme, Poland and the Baltic States
Expansion largely escaped the controls of the diplomats as the generals took control
Very quickly, Bethmann Hollweg curtailed his ambitions
Ambitions were both restricted and expanded by the war
this programme was meant to guide German policy throughout the war; it was an extension of the imperialist aims defined before the war, at least as early as 1912, and mirrored the interests of the German ruling class.
Germany was motivated primarily by continental Imperial Aims according to Fischer as defined by the September programme

eLife Assessment
This is a useful study that seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal circuit assembly. The authors demonstrate that Onecut transcription factors in spinal motor neurons control the development of pre-motor interneurons in a non-cell autonomous manner. However, certain conclusions are incompletely supported by the data at hand. The work will be of broad interest to cell and developmental biologists.
Reviewer #1 (Public review):
Summary:
This is a useful study by Angla et al that investigates the basis of observations made from previous studies where loss of Onecut (OC) transcription factors lead to changes in spinal interneuron populations that do not themselves normally express OC. The authors hypothesize that OC expression in spinal motor neurons has non-cell-autonomous effects on pre-motor interneuron (V1, V2a/b/c) population size and distribution. By knocking out OC in the motor neuron lineage (i.e., downstream of Olig2, a motor neuron progenitor marker gene), they indeed show that motor neuron-specific loss of OC expression decreases V2c interneuron number and alters the spatial distribution of V1, V2a, V2b, V2c populations. Using bulk RNA-sequencing of WT and OC conditional knockout (cKO) motor neurons, the authors identify that neurotrophic factor Ntf3 as another factor that is responsible for the non-cell-autonomous effects on the interneuron population; upon knock out of Ntf3 downstream of Olig2 they show that this leads to increased interneuron numbers and alters their spatial distribution, ultimately leading to dysregulation of spinal motor circuits and motor activity.
Strengths:
The authors use sophisticated genetic tools to precisely remove OC and Ntf3 expression in a lineage-specific manner and comprehensively assess the downstream effects across brachial, thoracic, lumbar levels of the spinal cord, as well as at two developmental timepoints, E12.5 and E14.5.
Weaknesses:
The evidence supporting their claims is incomplete. In figure 2 and 4, the control distributions (despite reporting the same populations in the same regions) look different, suggesting large sample-to-sample variance in distribution. The authors explain that this is due to several technical limitations in their study.
Furthermore, the way the Ntf3 results are framed can be misleading; it reads as though one of the main claims of this study is that OC acts through Ntf3.
Reviewer #2 (Public review):
The study by Angla et al. proposes a model in which NT-3 produced by motor neurons regulates interneuron numbers and distribution in a non-cell autonomous manner. The authors demonstrate that ablation of motor neurons (MNs) and global and conditional deletion of OC transcription factors lead to changes in interneuron distribution. They identify that NT3 is upregulated after MN-specific OC deletion in RNA-seq experiments and show that olig2-cre mediated NT3 deletion leads to increased ventral interneuron numbers, altered distribution and defects in locomotor behavior. The authors conclude that MN-derived NT3, under OC control, regulates interneuron development. While this is an intriguing hypothesis, the study does not consolidate the results from the different experimental models in a cohesive model to provide any mechanistic insights into how NT3 may accomplish this function.
(1) The authors utilize different experimental models (OC transcription factor global and conditional knockouts, DTA ablation and NT3 deletion) to show that MNs may influence interneuron numbers and positioning, but there doesn't seem to be a direct link into how each manipulation relates to the others in an informative way. For example, the relationship between OC and NT3 deletion data is not entirely clear, even though NT3 is downstream of OC transcription factors. Both deletions lead to changes in interneuron distribution but there doesn't seem to be any correlation between the two that relates to relative changes in NT3 levels. Although it is understandable that transcription factor manipulations may have additional effects, it is hard to derive any mechanistic insights into how exactly MNs influence interneuron differentiation or migration from the data presented here. Similarly, while the rationale for following up on NT3 seems to be the chick electroporation experiments, only a very minor decrease in Chx10 interneurons is shown in those experiments. Shouldn't NT3 overexpression lead to substantial decreases in IN numbers according to the authors' model?
(2) The study primarily quantifies interneuron numbers and distribution at different levels of the spinal cord and under different genetic manipulations. In different figures, the values and distributions shown for controls vary quite a lot. For example, in figure 2B vs figure 4B, the number of FoxP2+ V1 neurons at brachial levels is ~350 vs 125. Similarly, the control distributions in 2I and 4I are quite different. While this can be partially explained by technical issues, it remains challenging to determine whether the conclusions regarding the impact of each genetic manipulation on interneuron numbers and distribution are valid.
(3) It is not clear that the behavioral phenotypes seen in the olig2-cre mediated deletion of NT3 can be attributed to specific changes in interneuron development, connectivity or function. While the behavioral phenotype is in theory consistent with defects in motor circuits, there is a big gap between the embryonic changes shown here and behavior, with no in between circuit level changes in locomotor circuits shown. Thus, the behavioral experiments are not very informative as to how exactly components of motor circuits might be altered with the NT3 deletion.
Reviewer #3 (Public review):
This manuscript aims to investigate cell extrinsic mechanisms that regulate differentiation and distribution of interneuron types in the spinal cord. The authors demonstrate that the loss of motor neurons leads to changes in number and distribution of different interneuron types, specifically V0v, V1, and V2b (but not V2a). The authors then hypothesize that this phenotype may be controlled by the action of Onecut (OC) transcription factors in motor neurons. Conditional knockout of OC1 + OC2 in motor neurons using Olig2-Cre, however, does not lead to significant changes in numbers of V1, V2a, V2b interneurons, although there is a change in their spatial distribution. While the authors do not check V0v neurons in OC mutants, they do check V2c, which show a reduction in number and change in distribution. Why the same neurons are not checked across experiments is unclear. The authors then analyze existing RNA-seq data to identify factors that could be mediating effects of the OC factors in motor neurons. They identify Ntf3 as a candidate and confirm that it is upregulated in OC mutants. Conditional loss of function of Ntf3 (Olig2-Cre) leads to increases in V1, V2a, and V2b (but not V2c) interneurons and changes in distribution of all four interneuron types. However, the Ntf3 phenotypes do not necessarily suggest that it works in the same pathway as OC to control interneuron development. Finally, the authors demonstrate that these Ntf3 conditional mutants have major defects in motor function.
The main conclusions of the manuscript are that i) motor neurons non-cell autonomously control interneuron development, ii) that OC activity in Olig2 lineage cells non-cell autonomously controls aspects of interneuron development, and iii) that Ntf3 in motor neurons non-cell autonomously controls aspects of interneuron development. The mechanistic link between OC and Ntf3 activity is not clear. And the interneuron phenotype seen when motor neurons are depleted it not phenocopied by either loss of OC or Ntf3 from motor neurons. While the authors addressed some of my initial comments, the impact of this work on the field remains difficult to assess for the following reasons:
(1) The manuscript relies heavily on quantifying numbers and spatial distribution of interneuron populations. However, these do not seem to be consistent in control animals across experiments, making it difficult to interpret any changes observed in genetic manipulations. Specifically, in Fig. 2 and 4, the same markers are being used to quantify V1, V2a, V2b, and V2c interneurons in controls vs. OC (Fig. 2) or Ntf3 (Fig. 4) conditional knockouts, but the numbers of neurons and their distribution in control animals are variable between these two figures. For example, there seem to be a mean of >300 V1 neurons in E12.5 brachial sections of Fig. 2 controls, but this number is <150 in Fig. 4 controls. The cell distribution scoring is similarly variable between these controls without any explanation. The same is true for E14.5 controls used in Fig. S2 vs. Fig. S6.<br /> The authors explain in response to the 1st review that technical variability including different antibodies, different researchers performing experiments, and different mouse backgrounds may contribute to this variation, but do not include this explanation clearly in the manuscript where it would be useful for readers. It would have also helped, for example, if authors had labeled datapoints on bar plots based on the animal that they came from to understand inter-animal variability within experiments. Overall, the biological significance of the results remain difficult to interpret due to high technical variability.
(2) In the initial review, it was noted that there is no data to support the claim that OC1/2 mutants have altered interneuron development because of higher Ntf3 expression. In response to this, the authors note that the manuscript does not claim that OC exerts its non-cell autonomous effects through Ntf3 and add a new paragraph in the discussion which now addresses the fact that it is difficult to compare the phenotypes observed the different genetic manipulations presented in the work. While this paragraph addresses the incomplete mechanistic link between OC and Ntf3, it also decreases the mechanistic impact of the work.
(3) In Figure 3E-3G, the authors show that some V1, V2a, V2b interneurons express the Ntf3 receptor TrkC. It is not stated (apologies if I missed it) what age this expression is, and from the images, it looks like in addition to medially located newborn neurons being negative, laterally located Gata3 interneurons are also broadly negative for TrkC, and many Foxd3 and Chx10 interneurons are also negative. Separate images of each channel and/or scoring would help clarify this. If many relevant interneurons are indeed TrkC negative, how this affects the conclusions should be addressed in the manuscript.
(4) Behavioral phenotypes are not necessarily caused by Ntf3's role in premotor interneuron development.

Reviewer #1 (Public review):
Summary:
In this study, Angla et al investigate the basis of observations made from previous studies where loss of Onecut (OC) transcription factors leads to changes in spinal interneuron populations that do not themselves normally express OC. The authors hypothesize that OC expression in spinal motor neurons has non-cell-autonomous effects on pre-motor interneuron (V1, V2a/b/c) population size and distribution. By knocking out OC in the motor neuron lineage (i.e., downstream of Olig2, a motor neuron progenitor marker gene), they indeed show that motor neuron-specific loss of OC expression decreases V2c interneuron number and alters the spatial distribution of V1, V2a, V2b, and V2c populations. Using bulk RNA-sequencing of WT and OC conditional knockout (cKO) motor neurons, the authors identify that the neurotrophic factor Ntf3 is downregulated by OC expression. They subsequently hypothesize that the non-cell-autonomous effects observed by loss of OC expression in motor neurons can be explained by de-repression of Ntf3. To test this, the authors conditionally knock out Ntf3 downstream of Olig2 and show that this leads to increased interneuron numbers and alters their spatial distribution, ultimately leading to dysregulation of spinal motor circuits and motor activity.
Strengths:
The authors use sophisticated genetic tools to precisely remove OC and Ntf3 expression in a lineage-specific manner and comprehensively assess the downstream effects across brachial, thoracic, lumbar levels of the spinal cord, as well as at two developmental timepoints, E12.5 and E14.5.
Weaknesses:
There are two main concerns that are not fully addressed:
(1) Based on the effects observed with OC vs. Ntf3 cKO, it is unclear whether OC is indeed exerting its non-cell-autonomous effects via Ntf3. Knocking out both Ntf3 and OC and comparing the effects to those seen with just OC cKO alone could provide more insight on this point.
In this study, we did not intend to demonstrate that Onecut transcription factors exert their non-cell autonomous action on spinal interneuron development by regulating Ntf3 expression, and we do not state in the manuscript that this is the case. We only show that Onecut factors and Ntf3, the expression of which they regulate, contribute to the non-cell autonomous regulation of spinal interneuron development by the motor neurons. We are convinced that Onecut factors could regulate multiple independent factors and pathways involved in extrinsic regulation of interneuron development. This possibly also includes, as demonstrated in cell culture for multiple homeoproteins including human Onecut factors, the intercellular transfer of the Onecut homeoproteins during spinal cord development, a process that we are currently investigating. Knocking out both OC and Ntf3 in the motor neurons, beyond being technically extremely challenging (1/64 probability to obtain double-mutant embryos), would not enable to address this question, as it will simply results in the addition of two different defects.
Also, a quantitative summary of the effects of Ntf3 overexpression in motor neurons in the chick is lacking.
A quantitative summary of the effects of Ntf3 overexpression in the chicken embryonic spinal cord is provided in Figure S2.
(2) How the authors assess changes in the spatial distribution of interneurons is unclear. In Figures 2 and 4, the control distributions (despite reporting the same populations in the same regions) look different, suggesting large sample-to-sample variance in distribution. Although the authors report that several sections in each level were taken from at least three animals for each condition, it's unclear how variance within WT or cKO sections was accounted for in the final statistical evaluation. It seems at a glance that a comparison between control samples in Figure 2 and Figure 4 could report statistically significant differences, which would be problematic. A more rigorous report of sample-to-sample variance and a more in-depth explanation of the statistical methods are needed.
The experimental procedure to analyze the spatial distribution of spinal interneurons at different stages of development is described in details in the “Statistical analyses” paragraph of the Materials and Methods section of the manuscript, and has been repeatedly used by ourselves [1,2] and by others (see for example [3-5]) to conduct similar analyses.
We also noticed that the distribution of the different analyzed interneuron populations in the control embryos showed some differences between the cOc1Oc2<sup>-/-</sup> and in the cNtf3<sup>-/-</sup> lines. Several parameters can account for this observation. First, this study has been conducted over a period of 15 years, different investigators each contributing to different steps of the analysis. Second, the genetic background of these two lines is not identical, impacting both the duration of the gestation (hence, the embryonic stage of the performed analyses, even if the embryos were collected on the same gestation day) and possibly the distribution of some interneuron populations. Third, because of evolutions in the availability of the primary antibodies used to label the interneuron populations of interest, the same antibodies were not used throughout the study, as stated for in the Materials and Methods section for Chx10, Gata3 and Sox1, although the same antibody was used by the same investigator to label the same interneuron population in each mouse line at each developmental stage.
A detailed description of the number of sections and embryos included in each analysis as well as the whole statistical workflow that was used for the distribution analyses, which takes into account variance within control or mutant samples, is now provided in the revised version of the manuscript.
Reviewer #2 (Public review):
The study by Angla et al. proposes a model in which NT-3 produced by motor neurons regulates interneuron numbers and distribution in a non-cell autonomous manner. The authors demonstrate that ablation of motor neurons (MNs) and global and conditional deletion of OC transcription factors lead to changes in interneuron distribution. They identify that NT3 is upregulated after MN-specific OC deletion in RNA-seq experiments and show that olig2-cre mediated NT3 deletion leads to increased ventral interneuron numbers, altered distribution, and defects in locomotor behavior. The authors conclude that MN-derived NT3, under OC control, regulates interneuron development. While this is an intriguing hypothesis, additional experiments are needed to support it and strengthen the link between the different experiments described here.
(1) The study primarily quantifies interneuron numbers and distribution at different levels of the spinal cord and under different genetic manipulations. Experimental details are lacking, defining how many sections were analyzed (several are noted in the methods) and how the rostrocaudal levels of the spinal cord were precisely aligned.
A detailed description of the number of sections and embryos included in each analysis as well as the whole statistical workflow that was used for the distribution analyses is now provided in the revised version of the manuscript. The rostrocaudal levels of the spinal cord were precisely aligned using the distribution of Foxp1 in the Lateral Motor Columns (LMCs) at brachial or lumbar levels of the spinal cord, which is also indicated in the revised version.
In different figures, the values and distributions shown for controls vary quite a lot. For example, in Figure 2B vs Figure 4B, the number of FoxP2+ V1 neurons at brachial levels is ~350 vs 125. Similarly, the control distributions in 2I and 4I are quite different. This makes it challenging to determine whether the conclusions regarding the impact of each genetic manipulation on interneuron numbers and distribution are valid.
Several parameters can account for these observations. First, this study has been conducted over a period of 15 years, different investigators each contributing to different steps of the analysis. Second, the genetic background of these two lines is not identical, impacting both the duration of the gestation (hence, the embryonic stage of the performed analyses, even if the embryos were collected on the same gestation day) and possibly the distribution of some interneuron populations. Third, because of evolutions in the availability of the primary antibodies used to label the interneuron populations of interest, the same antibodies were not used throughout the study, as stated for in the Materials and Methods section for Chx10, Gata3 and Sox1, although the same antibody was used by the same investigator to label the same interneuron population in each mouse line at each developmental stage.
(2) The relationship between OC and NT3 deletion data is not entirely clear. Both deletions presumably lead to changes in interneuron distribution, but is there any reverse relationship between the two that relates to relative changes in NT3 levels? The authors do not directly compare NT3 and OC KO IN distributions. Similarly, one might expect a decrease in interneuron numbers in OC mutants, which is only reported for V2c neurons. However, the image presented in Figure 2G shows an equal number of V2c INs in control and mutant.
In this study, we did not intend to demonstrate that Onecut transcription factors exert their non-cell autonomous action on spinal interneuron development by regulating Ntf3 expression, and we do not state in the manuscript that this is the case. We only show that Onecut factors and Ntf3, the expression of which they regulate, contribute to the non-cell autonomous regulation of spinal interneuron development by the motor neurons. We are convinced that Onecut factors could regulate multiple independent factors and pathways involved in extrinsic regulation of interneuron development. For example, as mentioned above, we observed intercellular transfer of the Onecut homeoproteins during spinal cord development, suggesting different strategies for non-cell autonomous regulation of interneuron development. The two mouse lines studied here consist on the one side in a combination of OC inactivation and Ntf3 increased expression, and on the other side in Ntf3 inactivation. Therefore, a reverse relationship between the changes in interneuron distribution is not expected. Furthermore, gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments in mouse models frequently generate phenotypes that are not inverse to each other.
(3) It is not clear that the behavioral phenotypes seen in the olig2-cre mediated deletion of NT3 can be attributed to changes in interneuron development. How about a role of NT3 in oligodendrocytes? There is a big gap between the embryonic changes shown here and behavior, with no in-between circuit-level changes in locomotor circuits shown.
We agree, the motor behavior changes that we recorded in Ntf3 conditional mutant mice are, as stated, “consistent with the hypothesis that Ntf3 produced by MNs is required to generate locomotor circuits with properly coordinated activity” but do not demonstrate a direct causal relationship. However, investigating the intrinsic activity of the spinal locomotor circuits, independently from, for example, oligodendrocyte contribution may prove to be extremely challenging and was beyond the scope of this study. In addition, to our best knowledge, Ntf3 has not been shown to be expressed in healthy oligodendrocytes in vivo, and TrkC has not been reported to be displayed by these cells in the same conditions.
A more restricted manipulation would be deleting TrkC from specific interneuron populations. Related to this, although TrkC is shown to be broadly expressed in ventral interneurons, it is not shown specifically to colocalize with any of the interneuron markers. The authors should validate that the receptor is expressed in the subsets that they are investigating.
We agree, investigating the consequences of inactivating the TrkC receptor in specific interneuron populations would be extremely informative. However, this experiment is also very challenging to perform, as most of the driver lines available to target spinal interneuron populations additionally target multiple neuronal populations outside of the spinal cord that are also involved in the control of movements and could therefore induce confounding effects on motor behavior analyses.
We thank the reviewer for suggesting to investigate in more details the interneuron populations that display TrkC receptors, which is now included in the revised version of the manuscript (Figure 3E-G).
(4) The rationale for following up on NT3 seems to be the chick electroporation experiments; however, no changes in distribution are shown in those experiments, and only a very minor decrease in Chx10 interneurons. Shouldn't NT3 overexpression lead to substantial decreases in IN numbers according to the authors' model? The "data not shown", which presumably refers to distribution, would be important to show here, to further support this rationale.
Chicken spinal cord electroporation only enables to study spinal cord development for a few days, given the high mortality rate observed after longer incubation. At the stage we collected the electroporated embryos for analyses, interneuron migration has barely been initiated, and distribution cannot be studied yet. Consistently, we are not aware of any report of interneuron distribution analysis in electroporated chicken embryonic spinal cord, as compared to mouse embryos [1-5].
(5) The idea that NT3 downregulation causes an increase in IN numbers is not intuitive. Also, considering the DTA experiments in Figure 1, showing that MN ablation leads to a decrease in several IN subtypes and no changes in V2a neurons. It would be helpful for the reader if the authors could synthesize their results in the discussion and reconcile their experimental findings.
We agree, this has now been included in the Discussion section of the revised manuscript.

They identify Ntf3 as a candidate and confirm that it is upregulated in OC mutants. Conditional loss of function of Ntf3 (Olig2-Cre) leads to increases in V1, V2a, and V2b (but not V2c) interneurons and changes in the distribution of all four interneuron types. Finally, the authors demonstrate that these Ntf3 conditional mutants have major defects in motor function.
The conclusions of this manuscript are not well supported by the data for the reasons listed below, making it difficult to assess the impact of this work on the field.
(1) The manuscript relies heavily on quantifying numbers and the spatial distribution of interneuron populations. However, these do not seem to be consistent in control animals across experiments, making it difficult to interpret any changes observed in genetic manipulations. Specifically, in Figures 2 and 4, the same markers are being used to quantify V1, V2a, V2b, and V2c interneurons in controls vs. OC (Figure 2) or Ntf3 (Figure 4) conditional knockouts, but the numbers of neurons and their distribution in control animals are variable between these two figures. For example, there seems to be a mean of >300 V1 neurons in E12.5 brachial sections of Fig. 2 controls, but this number is <150 in Fig. 4 controls. The cell distribution scoring is similarly variable between these controls without any explanation. The same is true for E14.5 controls used in Figure S1 vs. Figure S3.
We also noticed that quantifications and distributions of the different analyzed interneuron populations in the control embryos showed some differences between the cOc1Oc2<sup>-/-</sup> and in the cNtf3<sup>-/-</sup> lines. Several parameters can account for this observation. First, this study has been conducted over a period of 15 years, different investigators each contributing to different steps of the analysis. Therefore, the interneuron distribution analyses in these two mouse lines were not conducted by the same researchers. Second, the genetic background of these two lines is not identical, impacting both the duration of the gestation (hence, the embryonic stage of the performed analyses, even if the embryos were collected on the same gestation day) and possibly the distribution of some interneuron populations. Third, because of evolutions in the availability of the primary antibodies used to label the interneuron populations of interest, the same antibodies were not used throughout the study, as stated in the Materials and Methods section for Chx10, Gata3 and Sox1, although the same antibody was used by the same investigator to label the same interneuron population in each mouse line at each developmental stage.
(2) Neurotrophic factors generally promote neuronal survival. However, in this study, the loss of Ntf3 leads to increased numbers of interneurons. This finding is in disagreement with previous observations in slice cultures of spinal cords, as stated in the discussion. This discrepancy makes it even more important that the cell counts reported in the figures discussed above are robust.
Considering that neurotrophic factors only support neuronal survival would strongly neglect their important function in neuronal differentiation, which has been broadly demonstrated. Severe immunotoxic ablation of motor neurons or anti-serum blockade of Ntf3 activity severely depleted inhibitory, but not excitatory, interneurons in a highly apoptotic-prone organotypic culture model of embryonic rat spinal cord slices, which was rescued by Ntf3 in the first model [6]. Opposite results were obtained in vivo by other researchers using mouse models lacking almost all MNs due to the elimination of skeletal muscles, where the number of spinal INs remained unaffected [7,8]. Combined to our results, these in vivo observations suggest that Ntf-3 is involved in interneuron differentiation rather in their survival. Consistently, Ntf3 has been shown to promote neuronal differentiation [9].
(3) The claim that phenotypes are non-cell autonomously driven by motor neurons is not well supported. In Olig2-Cre conditional knockouts of Onecut and Ntf3, there is no confirmation that the loss of these factors is specific to motor neurons. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that other cell populations may be mediating the phenotypes.
Combined conditional inactivation of Oc1 and Oc2 has been reported in [10]. Conditional inactivation of Ntf3 only impacts motor neurons as it is the only cell population in the ventral spinal cord wherein this factor is produced (this study and [11-13]). Furthermore, Olig2-Cre has been shown to be active in motor neurons and in V3 interneurons (see for example [14], which, for this reason, have not been studied in the frame of this project as stated in the manuscript.
(4) The claim that interneuron development is regulated by OC control of Ntf3 expression in motor neurons is not well supported. The authors show that loss of OC1/2 leads to an increase in Ntf3 expression in motor neurons. If this pathway were controlling interneurons, loss of OC function and overexpression of Ntf3 would have the same phenotype, which is not the case. Additionally, it would also be expected that loss of OC function and loss of Ntf3 function would have inverse phenotypes, which is also not the case. The phenotypes from OC loss of function and Ntf3 loss of function seem distinct from one another. The authors state that too little and too much Ntf3 are both bad for interneuron development, but there is no data to support their claim that OC1/2 mutants have altered interneuron development because of higher Ntf3 expression.
In this study, we did not intend to demonstrate that Onecut transcription factors exert their non-cell autonomous action on spinal interneuron development by regulating Ntf3 expression, and we do not state in the manuscript that this is the case. We only show that Onecut factors and Ntf3, the expression of which they regulate, contribute to the non-cell autonomous regulation of spinal interneuron development by the motor neurons. We are convinced that Onecut factors could regulate multiple independent factors and pathways involved in extrinsic regulation of interneuron development. This possibly also includes, as demonstrated in cell culture for multiple homeoproteins including human Onecut factors, the intercellular transfer of the Onecut homeoproteins during spinal cord development, a process that we are currently investigating.
(5) It is not clear that interneurons being studied express the Ntf3 receptor TrkC, which makes it difficult to assess whether changes in Ntf3 signaling are directly responsible for the phenotype.
We thank the reviewer for suggesting to investigate in more details the interneuron populations that display TrkC receptors, which is now included in the revised version of the manuscript (Figure 3E-G).
(6) While the behavioral phenotypes are consistent with Ntf3 playing a role in motor circuits, there is no evidence to suggest that Ntf3's influence on premotor interneurons being studied is driving or contributing to this phenotype, as discussed by the authors.
We agree, the motor behavior changes that we recorded in Ntf3 conditional mutant mice are, as stated, “consistent with the hypothesis that Ntf3 produced by MNs is required to generate locomotor circuits with properly coordinated activity” but do not demonstrate a direct causal relationship. However, investigating the intrinsic activity of the spinal locomotor circuits was beyond the scope of this study.
Recommendations for the authors:
Reviewer #1 (Recommendations for the authors):
(1) Figure 3: A more comprehensive overview of the RNA-seq results would be helpful to see how much gene expression is shifted as a result of OC loss (e.g., volcano plot, pathway enrichment analysis).
We agree, this has now been added in Figures 3B and S3 of the revised manuscript.
(2) Figure 2, 4: How does the spatial distribution of motor neurons change?
Describing the distribution of motor neurons is highly challenging given that the expression of markers that are collectively required to label all the motor neuron subset, including Foxp1, Hb9 and most significantly Isl1, is altered when Onecut expression is modified. Furthermore, changes in motor neuron distribution could constitute consequences of alterations in pre-motor interneuron numbers or distributions. However, as far as we can observe, motor neuron distribution was not obviously modified in the studied mutants.
(3) Figure S2: Why is Ntf3 expression so limited compared to Isl1-expressing motor neurons? An explanation would be helpful.
As stated in the Material and Methods section and in the legend of Figure S4 of the revised manuscript, expression after chicken embryonic spinal cord electroporation is transient and maximal reporter gene expression, including GFP, can usually only be visualized 24h after electroporation, but not at later stages. Forty-height hours after electroporation, only residual expression can still be detected in a few targeted cells.
Reviewer #3 (Recommendations for the authors):
(1) Changes in interneuron numbers are attributed to defects in differentiation. However, the possibility that these could be caused by changes in cell death has not been ruled out.
Absence of increased cell death had been demonstrated previously for Onecut mutant embryos [15] and has been verified now in conditional Ntf3 mutant embryos (Figure S5). Both information have been included in the text.
(2) In Figures 2 and 4, it is unclear if the images of the spinal cords are from brachial, thoracic, or lumbar levels. As the three levels frequently show different phenotypes, it is difficult to match the immunostaining with the reported quantification.
All the pictures show thoracic regions of the spinal cord, as now stated in the figure legends of the revised version of the manuscript.
(3) Statistics are missing in the cell distribution plots in Figure S1.
This is not the case in our version of the pdf file.
(4) In experiments where motor neurons are eliminated with Olig2-Cre/DTA, the authors write that progenitors are not affected without showing data. These data should be included because i) Olig2 is expressed in progenitors, so it would be expected that motor neuron progenitors are lost or reduced in this mouse, and ii) showing no changes in progenitors is crucial to the claim that postmitotic motor neurons are affected interneuron populations.
We agree, these data are now included as Figure S1 of the revised version of the manuscript.

Babamukuru did not know how I had suffered over the question of that wedding. He did not know how my mind had | raced and spun and ended up splitting into two disconnected entities that had long, frightening arguments with each other, very vocally, there in my head, about what ought to be done, the one half maniacally insisting on going, the other half equally maniacally refusing to consider it. I knew I was not evil to have endured all that terror in order to be sure of my decision, so when Nyasha asked whether I would go, I was able to tell her calmly, ‘No.’ But I accepted that I had forfeited my right to Babamukuru’s charity. Taking my suitcase from the top of the cupboard, I began to pack my things. Then I remembered that they were not my things and I put them back in their places. After that there was nothing else to do, so I stood in the middle of the room.

At the beginning of the 2026–2027 academic year, more than half of high schools and middle schools in France lacked at least one teacher.
Lack of educators
French cities began barricading their schools and protesting in the streets against the lack of teachers, overcrowded classrooms, overpacked schedules, and their schools’ crumbling infrastructure. They also called for an overhaul of the university admissions platform, Parcoursup, saying it is too complex and opaque.
Protests driving forces.
