One plot explaining very well the Italian problem (with talents attraction) Anna Maria Bernini 🇮🇹 Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca

Most brain-imaging studies make 3 questionable assumptions: mental events are localizable, map uniquely to dedicated #brain circuitry, & are independent of larger context. These 19th-century views need an update. New #OpenAccess paper in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 1/ cell.com/trends/cogniti…

Happy to share our latest study in Nature Communications that shows where and how a brainstem command signal for locomotor initiation is integrated in the spinal motor networks. Congrats to Li-Ju Hsu Maëlle Bertho nature.com/articles/s4146…

Interested in Bringing circuits for movement together? On Sept 4-7, 2023, exciting meeting to come organized with Ole Kiehn Auke Ijspeert featuring May-Britt Moser Megan Carey Cori Bargmann Marder Lab Mackenzie Mathis, PhD & many others! Abstract due on 4/1 benzon-foundation.dk/benzon-symposi…


Interested in taking a postdoc at the intersection of System Neuroscience and Metabolism, in always beautiful, sometimes sunny Stockholm? The Furlan Lab Karolinska Institutet is recruiting! Apply here: ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

The full program is out! Phenomenal lineup for #GRC2023 on #SCI & #CNSInjuryRepair grc.org/central-nervou… Looking forward to Chairing with Yishi Jin & vice-Chairs Binhai Zheng Victoria E. Abraira & fabulous GRS chairs @JuliaKaiser8787 Timothy Faw, PT, DPT, PhD (& to seeing great friends in Tuscany!)




🚨New postdoctoral positions are available in my team Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience CNRS 🌍 to explore the neural control of movement with full support from European Research Council (ERC), in our new and dynamic institute at the heart of Université Paris-Saclay, 🇫🇷 top university! Please share! shorturl.at/msEK3


Happy to share today our work published in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Thanks to Francesco Monaca (co-first author) and Mingran Cao and the Kohl lab The Francis Crick Institute and a special thank to Johannes Kohl for his mentoring! Hard work good energies and lots of fun Stay tuned!



The macrophages that pretend to be a neuron 🤣🤣🤣take a look at our study published in Nature and see how macrophage exert ms modulation of sensation and action via glutamate. Fantastic collaboration with digiovannilab @LabPerrier nature.com/articles/s4158…

Macrophages do not only eat...they help you walk😉 nature.com/articles/s4158… digiovannilab Carmelo Bellardita 🙏

#WeekendRead! #MacrophagesMakeYouWalk! digiovannilab Carmelo Bellardita &co identify nature a new population of macrophages that directly regulates neural activity & muscle contraction via glutamate release! doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

🎉 Our work on macrophages in muscle spindles (nature) is featured today in Nature Rev Neurosci ! 🧠💪 An unexpected role for macrophages in motor control Thanks Sian for the highlight and the dream team digiovannilab and @LabPerrier

NEW Highlight of nature paper by digiovannilab and Carmelo Bellardita showing that muscle spindle macrophages regulate the stretch reflex in mice through glutamate production nature.com/articles/s4157…

Check out our last work in Science Translational Medicine! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… We introduce and characterize a new epidural electrical stimulation protocol helping to reduce spastic muscle co-contractions while using traditional stimulation to strengthen residual functions A thread 1/8

A lot of interesting papers published last week to read! This is one. Congrats Graziana Gatto and all authors.
