What is the neural "software" behind movement?
My talk on the topic at the VVTNS is now online----
"Neural Manifolds in Spinal Networks That Orchestrate Movement"

New preprint:
"Neural manifolds that orchestrate walking and stopping".
Introducing a neural theory for walking and stopping. We test the theory using Neuropixels probes in the lumbar spinal cord of freely moving rats.

In case you missed it, here is an AI-generated Podcast of our paper in Nature in 2022, "Movement is governed by rotational neural dynamics in spinal motor networks" - I must say the LLM is doing an excellent job.

Should domain experts evaluate a paper/grant that has paradigm-challenging ideas? Dr. Yamamoto says never because they are unlikely to do it objectively since it threatens their own paradigms. Instead, use generalist reviewers. Interesting interview:

Science without theory is not science. It's surprising how few scientists actually know this. Here is a common misunderstanding (From Kevin McCain's book): a.co/d/figQ0Ek
