Heading to #FENS2026! First step: 6h50 of train to Bracelona. Please go check the team posters tomorrow morning 👇. I will talk in the photopharmacology session Friday morning. Looking forward to meeting the Neuroscience community !

Check out in particular our posters on brain-machine interfacing and mouse upper-limb prostheses on Tuesday morning; my work with James Poulet on sensorimotor integration in forelimb M1 with membrane potential recordings on Wednesday afternoon, and more amazing somatosensory-motor work on Thursday!

Our paper is now in print in Nature @nature.com. If you're interested in local field potentials, especially #high-gamma activity, and/or #spikes, check it out! TL;DR: High gamma is not mainly filtered spikes, but mainly summed nearby PSPs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Active dissociation of intracortical spiking and high gamma activity - Nature

A brain–machine interface is used in monkeys to investigate the biophysical underpinnings of cortical high gamma-band activity, a signal that is often studied in the context of many brain functions.

How does somatosensory input to the #MotorCortex contribute to limb movement? This study shows that loss of #somatosensory inputs disrupts voluntary forelimb movements & motor cortex neuronal dynamics, highlighting the role of somatosensory input in motor control @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3QcbXph

▶️ In our new @plosbiology.org study with James Poulet, we show somatosensory contributions to M1 Vm in a forelimb reaching task. ▶️ Surgical removal of somatosensation impacted movement encoding, Vm regulation and its transition to active state, and more! ▶️ Learn more: doi.org/10.1371/jour...
