And our findings dovetail nicely with observations from the @dattalab.bsky.social lab— with both papers pointing to PFC as encoding abstractions of actions rather than their low-level motor execution. https://t.co/FpnuYoIbCC

Some argue prefrontal cortex is just premotor cortex— but how does it relate to actions we make, really? This work led by @Idavrautio shows, unlike most of cortex, motor behavior weakly affects PFC & it operates at longer timescales. @adric_dunn @KISNeuro https://t.co/dN76v9bzgt

Wrapping up the movement and motor control in health and disease Cajal Advanced Neuroscience Training course in Bordeaux! It was a privilege to teach the in vivo patch clamp technique to incredible students. Thanks to #FENS, @univbordeaux, and everyone who made these possible!

[Laura Driscoll @lndriscoll]

If you want to do a postdoc w me (or generally do theory at Allen/UW) apply for this!

It’s a pretty independent postdoc position for people with a quantitative background, and pays well (104K)! 

Due date is Dec 16th. Here’s the link to apply. https://t.co/1kjYJhWQdZ
