Check out our new manuscript. Our study demonstrates the remarkable ability of the #CNS to adapt #motor_control to long-term internal changes, even after significant alterations to the #musculoskeletal system.

Finally! Still needs to go through peer review but having it out on @biorxiv_neursci is a very important first step. Fingers crossed 🤞@SekiLabs @ValeroLab @OyaTomomichi @NCNP_PR @ncm_soc #tenodesis #tendon_transfer #musclesynergy #electromyography

New paper!
We demonstrate, at the single-neuron level in primates, that spinal circuits mediating autogenic (Ib-related) positive feedback are actively engaged during voluntary movement and contribute to the generation of skilled hand motor output.

Science Advances に論文が掲載されました！ 霊長類の手はなぜこれほど器用なのでしょうか？ 脊髄と大脳皮質に存在する進化的に異なる神経回路が協調し、安定性と柔軟性を両立させることが「巧みさ」を生み出している可能性が示されました。

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.

This study explores how the central nervous system (CNS) adapts to long-term changes in the musculoskeletal system using a tendon transfer model in macaque monkeys.

[Tomohiko Takei @tomohikotakei]

I am grateful to @SekiLabs for his continuous support and to @OyaTomomichi for running with me. Without them, I would not have been able to complete this >10-year (!!) project. We look forward to your comments and suggestions!

Spinal and cortical premotor control of primate dexterous hand movements https://t.co/wkqzlI73sx #biorxiv_neursci

[ValeroLab @ValeroLab]

Arm movements are disrupted by unmodulated stretch reflexes. We propose a spinal cord circuit that could be as good as and complement mechanisms mediated by the brain & cerebellum. This has implications to the emergence and treatment of movement disorders. https://t.co/p0TNV7IhPH

Congrats to Shinji! This wouldn't have been possible without you and @OyaTomomichi. Selective recording from the cuneate in behaving NHPs will revolutionize the field! We dedicate this paper to @[email protected], the pioneer behind this challenge.

[shinji kubota @kubota19830707]

New paper from our lab finally officially published in @CellReports: “Modulation of somatosensory signal transmission in the primate cuneate nucleus during voluntary hand movement”
You can find a summary in this thread (1/10).

The NCM 2024 program is now available. We received a record number of submissions this year!

There is still time to submit posters - abstracts are due by Feb 19.

Stay tuned for more exciting reports on the neural mechanisms of sensorimotor control in limb movement from @SekiLabs. (9/n)

[SekiLabs @SekiLabs]

Thrilled to present our recent paper, just published in @NatureComms. In this work, we unveil a novel facet of #presynaptic_inhibition in the realm of #movement_control. (1/n)
