I enjoyed my recent chat with @harrislab.bsky.social! We talked about how he got to where he is today, the important people who have shaped his journey, advice, his research on why high-dose antioxidant supplements may sometimes promote #cancer rather than prevent it, and more. #science #scicomm

Neurorehabilitation is a deeply interdisciplinary field, & ASNR member Dr. Layla Abdullatif brings her background in biomedical/mechanical engineering, applied physiology, & kinesiology to her work on the role of gaze in motor learning & motor control. Learn more: asnr.com/files/Meet_O... 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 👩‍🔬

The text at the top reads, "Meet Our Members!". Below, there is a photo of Dr. Layla Abdullatif on the left, and a quote from her on the right that reads, "My current research focuses on how visual-perceptual deficits in Veterans, particularly those with Parkinson’s disease, alter gaze patterns, motor behavior, and neurophysiological responses. By learning more about the clinical relevance of these deficits and how they affect cognitive and motor changes as Veterans age, we can enhance and more effectively integrate cognitive and motor training, not only in rehabilitation settings, but also in community fitness programs." The ASNR logo appears at the bottom.

Conserved role of primary motor cortex in the control of prehension in mice and macaques

Aparicio and Ghuman et al. show that primary motor cortex (M1) lesions cause rapid recovery of reaching but prolonged grasping deficits in both mice and macaques. These conserved behavioral effects ar...

In case anyone is interested in me or my science, give this a listen. Some highlights include: * My love of karaoke * Talking about the work we are doing in the lab - e.g. trying to build better animal models of compulsivity and, most recently, relapse-resistant behavioural protocols 1/3

People Behind the Science@pbtscience.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Can we build better models to study compulsivity? @bradfield-neuro.bsky.social shares her exciting work on how inflammation in brain areas affects compulsive behaviors, as well as her career path, current challenges, favorite hobbies, advice & more! 👩‍🔬 🧪 www.peoplebehindthescience.com/dr-laura-bra...

Sometimes you find the perfect path, & sometimes that path finds you. Dr Aravind Nehrujee shares how he discovered rehabilitation research by accident & discusses his current work using acute intermittent hypoxia to enhance motor recovery in people w/ multiple sclerosis. www.asnr.com/files/Meet_O...

The text reads, "Meet Our Members! Aravind Nehrujee, PhD, “I want to keep developing solutions grounded in how the nervous system controls movement and recovers from impairment, combining neuromodulatory approaches, such as acute intermittent hypoxia, with task-specific rehabilitation. And I want this work to stay accessible and affordable, so that what we build in research can reach the clinics, homes, and communities where the need is greatest.”" There is a headshot photo of Aravind on the left.
