Amazing work!
Cris Niell@cris_niell3 Oct 2022
Our study on visual processing during free movement is now out in Neuron, with additional data/analysis suggested by insightful reviewers. An incredible effort, studying vision from the mouse's view, led by @CosmouseVision and @elliott_abe! Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fnve…
I'm looking for a few papers on diversity, equity and inclusion in research that would make for a good discussion among PhD students in a responsible conduct of research course. Suggestions?

Excited and proud to share my postdoc work out @nature today: go.nature.com/3pscOlX. It all started as a conversation on a balcony many years ago with @zmainen on the mysteries of olfaction and spatial cognition 👃🧠🚀 Video by @Neuro_CF AV team 👉youtu.be/BunEBiU3MO0 1/n

I've had a front row seat to this excellent work via Dylan's thesis committee. Great to see it in preprint form! Recommended reading.

Pleased to share our latest on how the cerebellum perfects movements. Props to my student Dylan Calame on his wonderful thesis work. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cerebellar associative learning underlies skilled reach adaptation

Cerebellar output has been shown to enhance movement precision by scaling the decelerative phase of reaching movements in mice. We hypothesized that during reach, initial kinematics cue late-phase...

Great data
Balazs Lab@BalazsLab14 Dec 2021
Until the pre-print posts, I figured I would put together a thread for those who want to see the data. Many thanks to @wilfredo_nk, @kstdenis29, @EvanCLam, @adamnitido, @NaranbhaiVivek who have been up at all hours of the night both at the bench and writing the paper! 1/16

New from @emily_a_largent, @_APeterson_ + me responding to @US_FDA's rationalization of #Aduhelm approval on grounds that patients are willing to try. Pt voices are critical, but don’t absolve FDA of its obligation to ensure drugs are effective + safe. 1/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

FDA Drug Approval and the Ethics of Desperation

This Viewpoint uses the accelerated approval of aducanumab to treat Alzheimer disease to discuss what role patient desperation should play in the FDA’s decision-making.
