Walking is an essential part of life- yet we do not know how the nervous system generates the underlying neural programs.
Please find our sneak-peek preprint on neural generation of locomotion in the mouse:

Pan-neuronal 1-spot tracks in lumbar cord
What is the neural "software" behind movement?
My talk on the topic at the VVTNS is now online----
"Neural Manifolds in Spinal Networks That Orchestrate Movement"

van Vreeswijk Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar
New preprint:
"Neural manifolds that orchestrate walking and stopping".
Introducing a neural theory for walking and stopping. We test the theory using Neuropixels probes in the lumbar spinal cord of freely moving rats.

Out in this month's issue of Aging Cell. Motor neurons do better in the presence of primary human muscle cells from older exercisers vs non-exercisers
🙏@lundbeckfonden for the Ascending Investigator grant 4 years ago to see this work through

Excited to share that my postdoc work is now on bioRxiv! We identify a role for spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons in control of locomotor behavior.

How does the spinal cord produce locomotion? And how do interneurons cell types relate to motor function?
Come see our Posters:

During rhythmic movement, neural activity in the spinal cord is sparse and doesn't show (strong) alternation. Our work showing how a hybrid-CPG model capture this is out in Neural Computation 🧵🪡
