🧵 New paper out🚨🧠! Information about motion is key to vision. Head motion signals from the vestibular system robustly modulate visual cortex activity. Despite this profound modulation, we still don’t know how these signals reach visual cortex - or even what aspects of head motion are transmitted.
🤯 👁️ Did you know the primary visual cortex tracks head movements even in complete darkness?
Guy Bouvier and colleagues managed to decode multiple head movement variables in V1 without light in the room, and discovered two distinct brain sources delivering these signals!

Serotonergic neurons and spinal motor networks: what do we really know? We sort it out in this newly published mini-review journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Spinally Projecting Serotonergic Neurons in Motor Network Modulation | Journal of Neurophysiology | American Physiological Society
Spinally projecting serotonergic (5-HTsp) neurons represent a heterogeneous population of neurons in the brainstem whose relevance in the control of movement has largely been inferred. Numerous studie...

Paper is finally out on our experimentally-driven neuromechanical model to explain how spinal inhibition makes you do things faster! www.cell.com/cell-reports...
The spinal premotor network driving scratching flexor and extensor alternation
Yao et al. developed a neuromechanical model based on experimental perturbations,
aligning theory-predicted with genetically labeled cell types. This work highlights
the importance of inhibitory inter...
