Another piece of work from our lab against a purely motor view of the cerebellum: cerebellar circuits are embedded in reinforcement-related networks! 👇

We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇

Cerebellar-cortical beta oscillations emerge as a predictive signal facilitating the stability of behavioral performance
Bracco et al. show that pre-movement beta oscillations emerge in a cerebello-cortical network as the environment becomes predictable and outcomes stabilize. The evolution of these oscillations predict...

Excited to share that our new paper is now online in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We show that beta bursts emerge in a cerebellar–cortical network ~2 seconds before movement initiation and predict the evolution of motor performance over time. Check it out!👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to see the last piece of my postdoc work at @ccniuofg.bsky.social out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We show that the motor network supports the associative mapping allowing the transfer of serial structure from motor skill to word-list memory. Check it out 👇 www.cell.com/current-biol...

A common serial structure causes offline excitability changes linked to generalization between different memory types
Failla et al. show that forming an associative mapping between motor elements and word categories bridges the divide between different memory systems, allowing a learned motor skill to be translated i...
