New preprint from the lab. A systematic dissection of 🧠 instructive signals for cerebellar learning (with some 🤯 surprises along the way!) led by @NTatianaSilva @PritchettLab feat. Jorge Ramirez 💥
I am asking my colleagues to read this carefully and not respond with defensiveness. I understand that this is difficult. But there is room at the table for everyone in this conversation.
For #SeeingDiversity this month, we're excited to feature Dr. Dominique Pritchett, a neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Biology at Howard University. Dr. Pritchett worked together with @GraceIHsu to create this Ramón y Cajal-inspired illustration.
Research in the Pritchett lab focuses on the circuit mechanisms of associative learning in the cerebellum. @PritchettLab work uses optogenetic dissection of the inferior olive’s instructive signal to demonstrate its necessity for learning in eyeblink conditioning.
