I’m thrilled that I get to work on a dream project. Our lab at Syracuse University will be identifying the roles of various sensorimotor pathways and how each pathway degradates with age. I am deeply appreciative of this support from AFAR and Hevolution Foundation to complete this 3yr project

Scientists studying hearing & balance across University of Rochester & URochester SMD have created a Collective to elevate our understanding of a system does not age gracefully—for adults 75+, imbalance is the number one cause of doctor visits, & 40% experience hearing loss. #URochesterResearch

Excited to share our latest attempt to understand methodological considerations of TMS. We explored if active motor thresholds should be reported with relative vs. absolute thresholds. Please share w/ those conducting #tmsresearch -Great job Jonathan Beausejour sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our preprint is out. We found that 4 weeks of strength training in older adults increased their peripheral nerve speed (conduction velocity of the median nerve). Great work by our research team and guidance by Jason DeFreitas. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
