Sneaking into the brain to see what's going on there.
Our paper is out in Science Advances! What makes primate hands so dexterous? We show that evolutionarily distinct spinal and cortical pathways work together to balance stability and flexibility, supporting remarkable primate hand control.

Primate dexterous hand movements are controlled by functionally distinct premotoneuronal systems
Distinct spinal and cortical pathways coordinate muscle synergies and fine control to support primate dexterous hand movements.

Thrilled that our new review "Motor Working Memory" is now in press at TiCS!
@cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social
@cellpress.bsky.social
By me + Hanna Hillman We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue Link:

🚨New paper🚨 Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently. Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges

🧠What do random neural networks have in common with the motor cortex? Turns out, a lot! Both exhibit similar low‑dimensional dynamics across sensorimotor tasks.👇🧵

I wrote a little digest + tribute to an article that shaped my career: Sadtler et al Neural constraints on learning! (and also managed to sneak in a shout out to another one) Read for free here:

Neural manifolds: more than the sum of their neurons
Nature Reviews Neuroscience - In this Journal Club, Juan Gallego discusses a 2014 article that provided a first causal hint that neural manifolds may not only be a convenient way to interpret...

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with
