It’s a wrap! Started with the Tokyo Hand Meeting on April 17th at @riken-science.bsky.social campus, then spinal dynamics perspective session with Kazuhiko Seki and Martyn Goulding at the NCM meeting in Kobe! Thank you Simon Giszter for giving a great introduction and serving as discussant!

Our paper is out in Science Advances! What makes primate hands so dexterous? We show that evolutionarily distinct spinal and cortical pathways work together to balance stability and flexibility, supporting remarkable primate hand control. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Primate dexterous hand movements are controlled by functionally distinct premotoneuronal systems

Distinct spinal and cortical pathways coordinate muscle synergies and fine control to support primate dexterous hand movements.

Thrilled that our new review "Motor Working Memory" is now in press at TiCS! @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social By me + Hanna Hillman We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lmMX4sIRv...

🚨New paper🚨 Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently. Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

🧠What do random neural networks have in common with the motor cortex? Turns out, a lot! Both exhibit similar low‑dimensional dynamics across sensorimotor tasks.👇🧵

I wrote a little digest + tribute to an article that shaped my career: Sadtler et al Neural constraints on learning! (and also managed to sneak in a shout out to another one) Read for free here: rdcu.be/eg5To Thanks to the editors for the invite and input!

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/
