Thanks @phiejacobs.bsky.social for featuring our work in @science.org! Why did Apollo astronauts skip on the Moon? Our study shows that reduced gravity reveals a proprioception-dependent mechanism for locomotor state selection. @alesantuz.bsky.social leading the way to the moon 🐭🚀

David Grimm@david-grimm.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The first foot set on the Moon was famously one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. But did you know there was a spring in that step? And do you know why? Fun story by @phiejacobs.bsky.social for @science.org

Academic friends, It's beyond heartbreaking to watch what's unfolding in Iran & the region. A few of us drafted an open letter calling for protection of civilians & of educational, research, medical & cultural institutions. Please read & sign if you agree: sites.google.com/view/protect... #IranWar

Dear Devoted Users of SeqSeek, I’m sorry, but NIH has decided that we can no longer maintain the website. All of the data is still available at the links provided, and the new platform even has added functionality. Happy gene expression hunting! seqseek.ninds.nih.gov

In short, hold your breath and hope things will turn out to be not much worse than they are now. www.ukri.org/news/open-le...

Do comparator modules exist within spinal circuits? Here, we show that spinal dI3 neurons integrate multimodal sensory feedback, receive direct efference copy from Renshaw cells, and mediate corrections of ongoing movements. Thank you so much to everyone involved!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
