1/10 When the going gets tough, the dendrites get going. Here is a summary on our new paper just published in @science.org on flexible learning in frontal motor cortex. With @mattlark.bsky.social 🔬. #neuroskyence #neuroscience 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Tuft dendrites in frontal motor cortex enable flexible learning
Flexible learning relies on integrating sensory and contextual information to adjust behavioral output in different environments. The anterolateral motor cortex (ALM) is a frontal area critical for ac...

1/4 Today we introduce the first upper limb prosthesis for the mouse model, controlled by a brain-machine interface! We show that mice can control this prosthesis via a brain-machine interface to solve a rewarded task.
Left: the upper-limb prosthesis can collect water from a tank, and bring it close to the mouth. Right: skeleton of the prosthesis with 4 DOF. THis prosthesis relies on Bowden cables.

BOOM! I think this paper fills a big gap in understanding how motor cortex stim works for pain... like so many things, it all seems to boil down to the ventral-lateral periaqueductal grey (vlPAG) www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

A sensory-motor-sensory circuit underlies antinociception ignited by primary motor cortex in mice
Wang et al. unravel the fundamental reason why activation of the primary motor cortex produces analgesia in mice from the angle of sensory-motor interaction and elucidate it from a descending M1-LH in...

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.

Embodiment of an artificial limb in mice
Body ownership disorders can be triggered by disease or body damage in humans. This study shows, using an automated, videography-based procedure, that mice also display quantifiable behavioral markers...
