Presenting my #CellBio2023 poster today at 12:15 on how our video game #Microscopya combines molecular mechanisms with visual metaphors to create puzzles that communicate science in intuitive ways! Currently looking for collaborators, so please stop by! #SciArt#SciCom#IndieDev
My laboratory is recruiting a postdoc to work on neural population dynamics for the adaptive control of locomotion. Our approach integrates large-scale recording in freely-moving mice, EMG, behavioral and optogenetic manipulations, and computation. Feel free to get in touch!

Everyone should join Victor Fung @movedisorder president on World Movement Disorders day to recognize everyone on the planet living with a disorder of motion. @ParkinsonDotOrg@PdAvengers

Using multimodal MRI, Estevez-Fraga et al. reveal associations between cortical cell loss in premanifest Huntington's disease and the expression of developmental genes and genes implicated in neurodegeneration. https://t.co/kSdfNAIYgJ; https://t.co/aBA6zVkytR
Stress in young people doesn’t always look like stress in adults. But like adults, children and teens can find healthy ways to cope. Here's how to help. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth https://t.co/AdC4ZRCh5n
Heading to the Fifteenth Annual Friedman Brain Institute Retreat today. At our first retreat in 2009, we had ~100 attendees. Today we're expecting more than 500! @SinaiBrain@IcahnMountSinai
📢📍The Martínez-Rivera Lab focused on (Mal)adaptive & Neurobehavioral Plasticity is opening this summer/fall at @UFNeuroscience@UFMBI. We'll be hiring at all levels, please share! Academia might not be perfect, but it gave me purpose in life. 🙌🏽 💫💎☀️🎉🐊
