Excited to share our study in J Neurosci identifying a new neuron population involved in rhythm generating locomotor network. Congrat to first author Maëlle Bertho, and Vanessa Calderia, Li-Ju Hsu, Peter Löw and Lotta Borgius. jneurosci.org/content/44/18/…

Happy to share my second paper from my PhD at Ilary Allodi and Ole Kiehn, now out in Science Advances! 🥳👩🏻‍🔬 We show a comprehensive characterization of spinal inhibitory and excitatory dysregulation in #ALS progression using in situ transcriptomics 1/4🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New preprint on inferring time-varying couplings in dynamical systems, lead by Josuan Calderon arxiv.org/abs/2406.03212

What underlies the spinal cord’s intrinsic ability to adjust locomotor patterns on a step-by-step basis? We investigated this question in our new preprint! Follow along in the thread for the #tweeprint!

Brand new (10 years running…) work from the Emory Alvarez Lab out today - it’s a neuroanatomy feast. Joining the lab and seeing this take its final form I knew I was in the right place. The whole team is legendary!! (and V1s are the coolest) elifesciences.org/articles/95172…

Online now: A brain-wide map of descending inputs onto spinal V1 interneurons dlvr.it/TGytPZ

Our new preprint on how excitatory V2a and inhibitory V1 and V2b neurons cooperate to drive scratching rhythm, with a new neuromechanical model showing how CPG perturbations affect rhythm and phase of motoneuron firing and frequency of joint oscillations biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hi X world! This might sound crazy but today we publish in Nature Medicine a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease! @scottensel@dona_sere @DrRFriedlander@ElviraPirondini Marco Capogrosso nature.com/articles/s4159…

❗️❗️❗️Neuron | Breakthrough! 👏👏👏Prof. Jay B. Bikoff 's team discovered a whole-brain map of interneurons projecting down to spinal cord V1. 👇MORE cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 Thrilled to share my final PhD paper—also my first as corresponding author, recently published in iScience Int! We investigated spinal circuits that contribute to the generation of episodic locomotor activity. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ontogeny of the spinal cord dorsal horn biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_neursci

New preprint out! We developed a behavioural platform for the kinematic analysis of skilled whole body behaviour. Very fun collaboration with Christopher Black, Liam Browne and Rob Brownstone.

SFU Research | #SFU researchers are developing wearable AI technology to support safer rehabilitation from stroke and spinal injury. This wearable technology can warn and prevent falls for patients recovering from stroke and spinal injuries.  Learn more: ow.ly/kk4a50VBQoP

Excited to share Steph Gaudreau's work on the role of the persistent outward M-current on locomotor control in developing zebrafish journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Just uploaded to bioRxiv. Looking forward to sharing our findings very soon!
