If you are a current post-doc or senior graduate student interested in the helping advance future cerebellar therapeutics, check out the @RaynorProject - with an upcoming conference exploring these ideas. A few more days left to apply! https://t.co/iKGi0DsEhZ
Check out the amazing work of @SillitoeLab@HeijdenLab showing unique codes for movement disorders in cerebellum! Their work in @eLife is https://t.co/Dnssa7oJQa with a brief write-up on how this could open the doors to future therapeutics by yours truly https://t.co/gnK5njH5Fg
Check out our new work exploring how movement disorders are encoded in the firing patterns of cerebellar nuclei neurons; and how inducing those firing patterns can reproduce the phenotypes, ranging from #dystonia to #tremor and #ataxia@HeijdenLab@bcmhouston@TexasChildrens
Excited to share new work with @steve_lisberger and @MatiJoshua1 on rate and synchrony codes in the cerebellum during pursuit. Long story made short - we see little evidence for synchrony in general, synchrony modulation during movement, or synchrony effects in downstream neurons
Just arrived at #SfN2022, so it seems like the time to announce that I’lll be starting my lab at the King’s CDN @dev_neuro next spring on a @wellcometrust fellowship. Science is a team sport, and I feel humbled by the support I’ve gotten from mentors and friends over the years.
@reziliusReza Check out my poster at SfN, Reza! We are labeling cerebellar units using layer, waveform, and regularity properties (and then we validate the labeling with CCGs with known Purkinje cells and mouse optogenetics). Fun stuff!
..Yes, these rarely firing complex spikes are actually rich with information!
Check out our latest work https://t.co/QD4FcVS4DC on #cerebellar complex spikes at #PLOSBiology for more details.
P.S. Shoutout to Junya Inoue for his great efforts! 👏👏
@schoppik I'll definitely take you up on that! Thanks so much! Thankfully @steve_lisberger has already given me some great Steve-style feedback. I can barely imagine how well the research statement will read with feedback from TWO Steves!
If you are looking to hire a bright young neuroscientist and engineer, one of the best that I have ever mentored, David Herzfeld @herzfeldd is looking for an opportunity to start his lab.
Exciting work from @reziliusReza and @esedaghatnejad! This is an incredibly hard problem for cerebellar research - really looking forward to trying this new package!
Spike detection in the cerebellum can be difficult because complex spikes vary in waveform from one event to the next. To help, 3 labs came together and pooled data from 3 species, 300+ recordings, and developed a tool called #Psort, a free software.

Come shape the future of neuroscience! My home department of Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Colorado SOM is hiring a new Chair. Such a wonderful place to work, live, grow. rt ok! https://t.co/RGLhC1s9po
Great new work led by Nathan Hall and @steve_lisberger on the trials and tribulations of spike sorting multichannel data. Worth a read for suggestions about how to look at and evaluate the output of multiple sorters (especially important if you are using multicontact probes).
I'm super excited to host Dr. Abigail Person (@personal_neuro) as she "visits" @DukeNeuro today. Looking forward to what I'm sure will be an amazing talk at 12PM Eastern on how the cerebellum contributes to arm movements!
Don’t know how incredibly fantastic the Pitt Neuroscience PhD program is? Find out about one of the world’s best places to train, live, and be happy. Unlisted benefit: I bought a house when I was a grad student at Pitt. Info here--> https://t.co/OGvqp0djbz
