🧠🌟🐭 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🧵

Come join my research group as a PhD student for an exciting project in collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University. The project will focus on inference of social forces in animal groups. Timely and fun topic 😁
Pls share:
I have an opening for a PhD student in my group part of a collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University to begin ASAP. It is an opportunity to delve into the theory and application of social interactions inference methods.

☀️ We really had a great scientific day for basal ganglia club satellite in Montpellier yesterday, before #Neurofrance2025!! Lots of great presentations and interactions within the community! Big thank you to all participants !!

How does a neuron get its activity? 👀
Check out our latest preprint, where we tracked the activity of the same neurons throughout early postnatal development: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
