Our paper is now in print in Nature @nature.com. If you're interested in local field potentials, especially #high-gamma activity, and/or #spikes, check it out! TL;DR: High gamma is not mainly filtered spikes, but mainly summed nearby PSPs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Moisissures dans les collections, bibliothèque inondée, fissures dans les murs… Alors que le @mnhn.fr célèbre ses 400 ans, fort d’une importante fréquentation et d’une renommée scientifique internationale, son président, Gilles Bloch, alerte sur son état catastrophique.

How does somatosensory input to the #MotorCortex contribute to limb movement? This study shows that loss of #somatosensory inputs disrupts voluntary forelimb movements & motor cortex neuronal dynamics, highlighting the role of somatosensory input in motor control @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3QcbXph

▶️ In our new @plosbiology.org study with James Poulet, we show somatosensory contributions to M1 Vm in a forelimb reaching task. ▶️ Surgical removal of somatosensation impacted movement encoding, Vm regulation and its transition to active state, and more! ▶️ Learn more: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

How to restore #motor function after #stroke? This study shows in mice that a combination of #RoboticRehabilitation & non-invasive gamma band #neuromodulation improves motor recovery by restoring movement-related oscillations & parvalbumin #interneuron dynamics @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n7QJng

🤯 👁️ Did you know the primary visual cortex tracks head movements even in complete darkness? Guy Bouvier and colleagues managed to decode multiple head movement variables in V1 without light in the room, and discovered two distinct brain sources delivering these signals! Read more in PNAS 🔽🔽

Our work on rubber hand embodiment in mice is out @plosbiology.org! We show that just like in humans, visuo-tactile pairing can lead mice to an embodiment-like behavior with respect to an artificial limb.

A very clear, detailed, and fair account on the (obscure?) French way to distribute positions in academia, and then manage to actually do some research! Thanks Olivier
