For the oculomotor nerds out there… we’re excited to share our paired papers on precerebellar circuitry! These two studies look at how internuclear pathways talk to the cerebellum and what that means for eye movement control. 👀🧠 #neuroskyence #science

Of potential interest to those keen on motor control and/or multi-task networks. Congrats to Elom and Eric. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Anne West lab at Duke is hiring a postdoc to work on nuclear cell biology in neurogenesis. Please help me spread the word! Applications to [email protected].

Cerebellar circuit computations for predictive motor control — a Review by Katrina P. Nguyen & Abigail L. Person www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience #neuroskyence

My established scientists, two incredibly "new PI" questions: 1. How do you figure out how many people to hire/can hire? What's the math based on $ in account and when those $ expire? 2. How do you figure out your ratio of techs, grad students, and post-docs? Is it project or budget based?

POSTDOC JOB OPENING. My lab at @mossresearch.bsky.social has an opening for a postdoc fellow to work with @aaronlwong.bsky.social and me on an NSF-funded research program studying mechanisms of sensory plasticity that accompany adaptive motor learning. The full posting is below. Please share!

Come work with us! Amanda is a fantastic advisor, and we have some really exciting studies planned!

Are you an ambitious scientist or engineer? Do you want to do hard engineering that will transform lives and advance science? Come join us to build next-generation neurotechnology at Integral.

I am very proud to announce that my PhD paper finally came out in Cell! In this *very* collaborative study, we develop and release a deep-learning approach to predict neuron type identity from their electrical signature. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/16 🧵

We are very excited to see our collaborative paper on classification of neuron types in the cerebellum (across species!) now published in Cell. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... This was a huge project, spanning multiple labs - across continents - and a huge team effort!

I'm thrilled to share our new *NIH funded* paper (doi.org/10.1101/2025...) describing the circuit-level computations performed by the cerebellum during eye movements in primates. (1/6)

Strategies to decipher neuron identity from extracellular recordings in the cerebellum of behaving non-human primates https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.29.634860v1

Excited to share a new preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) where we describe methods for identifying cerebellar neuron types from extracellular recordings in NHPs. With knowledge of the circuit and some new insights, we can establish neuron type for a large fraction of recorded neurons. (1/4)

New preprint! A collaborative effort of multiple labs showing the ability to link extracellular recordings to underlying neuron identities (using the cerebellum as an example). Really excited to see how others can use these methods to gain a deeper understanding of how circuits link to behavior!

I left Twitter (X?) a long time ago - even before Musk - as I thought the conversations were getting a bit toxic. BUT - Twitter was incredibly useful for faculty job openings/notifications! Hoping bluesky fills this void, and is a bit more pleasant than the Twitter craziness. 🤞
