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 doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.13…

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. rdcu.be/dViIJ
🧠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. 🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.14.5…
