Data from 56 different species sheds light on the diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding in mammals. elifesciences.org/articles/85907…

Johns Hopkins raises graduate student salaries to $47000 per year starting July 2024. The students won this through unionizing and collective bargaining.

Granule cells in the cerebellum are tiny, making it impossible to find them with regular probes. Neuropixels Ultra might make this a possibility. Mohammad Amin Fakharian & Alden Shoup successfully recorded from the cerebellum of marmosets during a saccade task using Ultras.

Today we delivered an Open Letter signed by postdocs from across departments Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official, urging the administration to remain neutral and meet with us about a fair and efficient process for moving towards bargaining.

For friends in the US, and for those of us that have BRAIN grants, this is terrible news. Read below on how we can collectively try to help ⬇️

As you are quietly reading this text, you're making saccades. Meanwhile, in your cerebellum there is a storm of activity: the neurons are monitoring the movements, correcting them so each lands on target. You can listen in during a Neuropixels recording. Work of Jafar Doostmohammadi

Control of tongue movements by the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Function of the cerebellum in control of the tongue appears similar to its role during control of the limbs and the eyes: stopping the movement on target. Work of Paul Hage Mohammad Amin Fakharian Alden Shoup Jay Pi Ehsan Sedaghat Nejad Simon Orozco In Kyu Jang Looi Nga Laam Toren Arginteanu

Neuroscience research that uses monkeys is tiny, but the impact is disproportionately large. Yet, the future of nonhuman primate neuroscience is in jeopardy. jneurosci.org/content/44/37/…

Very excited to see this paper outlined in a unique format! Extra thanks to everyone involved Natasha Porwal Mohammad Amin Fakharian Paul Hage Simon P. Orozco and of course Reza Shadmehr for your unwavering support. See our lab at #sfn2024 at posters 347.07, 172.07, and 347.09.

We believe that we have discovered a vector calculus for neural computation in the cerebellum: work of Mohammad Amin Fakharian Alden Shoup Paul Hage Hisham Elseweifi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

As you are reading this text, there is a storm of activity in your cerebellum. This is what it sounds like.

In the cerebellum, neurons are placed in competition with one another, nulling the downstream effects of each other's spikes, in a well-organized subtractive process that produces a fast changing, precise output from a collection of slow, noisy neurons.

#HopkinsBME students Iralde Sicilia and Natasha Porwal are part of a team that won the SIMVENTOR’S showcase at #IMSH25. Congratulations! Read more about their design: buff.ly/4c04wXH
