Our SFN symposium review is out! This fantastic team effort presented a cross-species look at how the brain predicts and attenuates its own self-generated sensory signals during action.

The cerebellar vermis keeps us balanced by integrating sensory and motor signals. In this new review, Drs. Mildren and Cullen examine how the specialized functions of the anterior and posterior vermis contribute to postural control across a variety of contexts.

Sensorimotor Transformations for Postural Control in the Vermis of the Cerebellum
The cerebellar vermis plays an essential role in maintaining posture and balance by integrating sensory inputs from multiple modalities to effectively coordinate movement. By transforming convergent s...

Our work on balance -critical for mobility, especially as we age- links basic neuroscience to real-world clinical needs & is only possible with sustained NIH support. Federal cuts threaten research like ours, with direct impacts on fall prevention, rehab, and support of aging populations. Read more:

Research cuts imperil critical insights into the underlying causes of age-related falls
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among seniors in the United States. Johns Hopkins researcher Kathleen Cullen studies the vestibular system in our inner ear, integral to maintaining...

Preprint alert! Mice lacking K+ subunit KV1.8 in vestibular hair cells displayed altered synaptic transmission and impaired vestibulomotor performance, indicating a vital role for these subunits during dynamic, high-frequency movement.

I don't know anyone who enters science to receive awards, and there are far fewer awards than deserving recipients. But this one is particularly sweet and I am grateful to the SRS for the recognition, not only for me but for the many wonderful trainees and collaborators with whom I have worked.
