For the oculomotor nerds out there… we’re excited to share our paired papers on precerebellar circuitry! These two studies look at how internuclear pathways talk to the cerebellum and what that means for eye movement control. 👀🧠 #neuroskyence #science

Of potential interest to those keen on motor control and/or multi-task networks. Congrats to Elom and Eric. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Motor cortex flexibly deploys a high-dimensional repertoire of subskills
Skilled movement often requires flexibly combining multiple subskills, each requiring dedicated control strategies and underlying computations. How the motor system achieves such versatility remains u...

Cerebellar circuit computations for predictive motor control - Nature Reviews Neuroscience
The cerebellum helps ensure the speed and accuracy of movements, but its precise contributions to movement control are unclear. Nguyen and Person here evaluate evidence for and against feedforward mot...

My established scientists, two incredibly "new PI" questions: 1. How do you figure out how many people to hire/can hire? What's the math based on $ in account and when those $ expire? 2. How do you figure out your ratio of techs, grad students, and post-docs? Is it project or budget based?

I am very proud to announce that my PhD paper finally came out in Cell! In this *very* collaborative study, we develop and release a deep-learning approach to predict neuron type identity from their electrical signature. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/16 🧵

We are very excited to see our collaborative paper on classification of neuron types in the cerebellum (across species!) now published in Cell. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... This was a huge project, spanning multiple labs - across continents - and a huge team effort!

A deep learning strategy to identify cell types across species from high-density extracellular recordings
We constructed a deep learning classifier that solves the problem of neuron-type identification from simultaneous extracellular recordings of many neurons. The classifier was trained on a ground-truth...

I'm thrilled to share our new *NIH funded* paper (doi.org/10.1101/2025...) describing the circuit-level computations performed by the cerebellum during eye movements in primates. (1/6)

Neural circuit mechanisms to transform cerebellar population dynamics for motor control in monkeys
We exploit identification of neuron types during extracellular recording to demonstrate how the cerebellar cortex's well-established architecture transforms inputs into outputs. During smooth pursuit ...

Excited to share a new preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) where we describe methods for identifying cerebellar neuron types from extracellular recordings in NHPs. With knowledge of the circuit and some new insights, we can establish neuron type for a large fraction of recorded neurons. (1/4)

New preprint! A collaborative effort of multiple labs showing the ability to link extracellular recordings to underlying neuron identities (using the cerebellum as an example). Really excited to see how others can use these methods to gain a deeper understanding of how circuits link to behavior!

I left Twitter (X?) a long time ago - even before Musk - as I thought the conversations were getting a bit toxic. BUT - Twitter was incredibly useful for faculty job openings/notifications! Hoping bluesky fills this void, and is a bit more pleasant than the Twitter craziness. 🤞
