🧵 Excited to share my first paper, now out in Science Advances! 🧠 How does premotor cortex represent actions when we perform them vs. when we watch others? We looked at this using population-level recordings in macaque premotor cortex. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/3)

Dynamic population coding of kinematic structure across executed and observed actions in primate premotor cortex

Premotor neural populations dynamically integrate seeing and doing by reflecting the unfolding kinematics of grasping actions.

I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉 The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)

🚨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🚨 with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible. We show that 🐒prefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/🧵
