You have to read @kelseytea.bsky.social excellent work on dexterity in deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. A powerful example of cross species comparisons to study principles of motor control ✅
🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

wow, I'm proud of PhD student Jake Stephens' work with Tim Cope and me on understanding multi sensory proprioceptive integration on this work.
🎓EDITOR'S PICK🎓
In this #ShortCommunications Stephens, @lenating.bsky.social and Cope (Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology) question how can combinations of feedback from multiple propriosensor types signal muscle mechanical state variables for control.

Why would I co-produce a science podcast?
I think everyone needs to understand, especially now, how valuable the methods of science are to our world. We hope to show the science skeptical and science curious why biomedical science is so amazing.
