Neuroscientist studying the plasticity of sensorimotor networks. Love of action potentials, somatosensory circuits and all things neural adaptation. PI at UCL. Views are my own.

Our paper is out! Work by Christopher Black in collaboration with Liam Browne, Rob Brownstone, and Marco Beato. Here, we describe the unique kinematic signatures of multi-limb coordination in freely climbing mice and show how these flexibly adapt to changing environments. tinyurl.com/4bnw88wk

Naturalistic climbing reveals adaptive strategies for interlimb coordination in freely moving mice

Multi-limb coordination is vital for mammalian locomotion. While coordination requires reliable organization of limb movements, it also requires flexibility to adapt to environmental demands. In natur...

New preprint out from the lab. We identified three critical windows over which sensorimotor behaviours can be shaped. Altered early experience over these windows changes somatosensory and motor outcomes for life. Tour de force experiments by Laura Andreoli. @medresfdn.bsky.social @uclnpp.bsky.social

🔬 @skochlab.bsky.social from @uclnpp.bsky.social is exploring how early life pain shapes the brain’s response to pain in adulthood. 🧠 This Foundation-funded research will help us understand the root causes of #chronicpain and how we can reduce lifelong vulnerabilities in adulthood ⬇️
