Thanks to @schoppik.com and Celine Bellegarda for their nice Dispatch in @currentbiology.bsky.social about our recent paper on circuit control of hunting saccades. www.cell.com/current-biol...

One exciting advance in motor control is new insights into different types of motor neurons & their roles in behavior. Charlie Dowell's work in the Bianco lab is an excellent example of such a discovery; reviewed here by @cbellegarda.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1kYNk3QW8S...

So excited to share our first paper from my PhD! Chasing this question was so rewarding; I hope that comes across in the writing. Thank you @denagoldblatt.bsky.social, @cbellegarda.bsky.social, Cheryl, and Başak for being wonderful teammates and @schoppik.bsky.social for the excellent bluetorial 🤓

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab: Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong! Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit! Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along…. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/19

Closing out the year, @cbellegarda.bsky.social and @franziau.bsky.social argue that zebrafish have much to teach us about diversity. Well, diversity among motor neurons that move the eyes, anyway 👀. Plus read our opinionated takes on current articles too! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kL%7Eb3Q9...

The vestibulospinal nucleus is a locus of balance development https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.06.570482v1

so proud of my lab mate @paigel.bsky.social on a fantastic talk at #CSHLZebrafish 👀🐟
