New preprint out from the lab. We identified three critical windows over which sensorimotor behaviours can be shaped. Altered early experience over these windows changes somatosensory and motor outcomes for life. Brilliant work by @LauraAndreoli90 @uclnpp
Discrete and sequential critical periods organise the development of task-specific sensorimotor circuits in mice biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_neursci

Adding to proof that inhibition is really everything
Our paper is finally out on our experimentally-driven neuromechanical model to explain how spinal inhibition makes you do things faster! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

A new method to simultaneously detect hundreds of biomolecules in single cells within intact tissues could allow scientists to track the patterns of these molecules during development, aging & disease to understand how they contribute to these processes: janelia.org/news/new-techniq…

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.
