Heading to #cosyne2025 ?
We're presenting new data exploring the geometry of neural dynamics in M1, PMd, PFC, SMA, and GPi during reaching movements with varying start locations, directions, and extents.
Find me at Poster Session 3-091 — or anytime before or after!

Now published in The Journal of Neuroscience! @SfNJournals
jneurosci.org/content/45/3/e…
With @_mshahbazi and @DiedrichsenJorn @diedrichsenlab
The latest paper from my postdoc at @wusmsl. This one was a long time in the making (for obvious reasons). The #tweeprint below is good, but make sure to head over to the preprint for more details and additional findings that didn't make it into the summary.

Excited to share my latest work with @DiedrichsenJorn and @andpru. In this work, we ask whether motor sequence learning is motoric at all! Check out the 🧵version of the abstract: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

#JNeurosci | @GiacomoAriani, @_mshahbazi, and @diedrichsenlab discovered that cortical brain regions engaged during the planning and initiation of movements remained engaged throughout movement sequence performance. This suggests that planning and execution of movement are intricately connected in the brain. @WesternU

Our atlas is now out in @NatureComms!
Thank you to our reviewers whose insightful comments helped sharpen our argument. I might have had too much fun with the 33-page response - glad it lives alongside the paper.

🧠Big news, little brain 🧠
I’m excited to share our preprint introducing our hierarchical cerebellar atlas!🎉
We fused many fMRI datasets into a comprehensive map of the cerebellum - and created a new resource for localizing and interpreting data.

When you watch someone else learn a behavior, how well do you learn it yourself? How well do you retain what you've learned from your observations?
New work from @paulgribble provides the answers.

There's still time to apply to join Prof Tamar Makin's team at MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge! We are seeking a new Research Assistant. Ideal candidates have research experience & relevant degrees. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47969/
When you perform a sequence of actions, you are always dual-tasking: You produce a movement and at the same time plan future ones. Check out @mehrdadkashefi's new paper (with @andpru). Thanks to @raeedcho for an excellent insight!

Controlling one movment while getting ready for the next - this is a key part of most motor skills.
