You've never seen human anatomy like this before. Using a particle accelerator, the Human Organ Atlas is producing 3D scans of our organs in unprecedented detail! You can look through different layers of tissue and even zoom in on the cells for the heart, lungs, eyes, kidneys, and more.

The search for a new Chair of Duke Neurobiology is kicking off! Ad below. I've lived all over the country, but I'm glad I put my roots down here. Great people, great school, great area to live. Feel free to DM with any questions.

My department, Duke Neurobiology, is searching for a new chair. Ad below. Come work with me, @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social @ennatsew.bsky.social @jorggrandl.bsky.social @jnklab.bsky.social @sbilbo.bsky.social @neurocircuits.bsky.social and many other amazing folks! @dukemedschool.bsky.social

🧠🌟🐭 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🧵

Evolutionary expansion of the corticospinal system is linked to dexterity in Peromyscus mice https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.16.682851v1

Spent a week in Arizona with these amazing people at the inaugural summit for the Raynor Institute. We are trying to advance the next generation of neuromodulation to help those with cerebellar disorders and maybe more.

I am excited to announce that I will be founding an institute for network stimulation at the University Hospital Cologne – already this coming May!

Been thinking a lot about rejections in science, since I have now seen it from both sides. Been a particularly tough week for my lab. Of course, it is part of the process, but it is also important to compartmentalize the effects. Especially to minimize impact on personal life and family.
