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. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/4...

Local coolest lab member @lexcience.bsky.social presented recent work using high-density recordings to investigate self-motion processing in macaque cortex at yesterday’s #SfN25 afternoon poster session

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. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/2...

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:

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. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

You know it's bad when I've been listening to Bach for 6+ hours.

Now that we’re on Bluesky, it’s a good time to bring back #badsciencedrawings – a collection of figures that prove that science is more science than art. Before Biorender, all we had was MS Paint and a dream. But ovals, lines, and lightning bolts were all we needed Morales-Botello et al., 2012

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.
