Proposal accepted! It's a proposal to create a one-day trivia contest for @LearnedLeague , but all wins count.

Our recent paper about the role of the cerebellum as a gateway for the formation of long-term sensorimotor memories is the subject of a story by @thecrimson!
Harvard SEAS researchers found in an August study that the cerebellum is necessary for the formation of new long-term, but not short-term, motor memories.
Avi W. Burstein, Bianca G. Ciubancan, and Dionise Guerra-Carrillo report.

Our latest paper is out! We looked at the roles and interplay of reinforcement and error feedback on exploration during reaching and gait for neurotypical individuals and those with Parkinson's disease.

A recent study examining the kinematics of 3D arm movements in individuals in the sub-acute phase after #stroke found that both weakness and synergy intrusion contribute to motor deficits during the sub-acute period. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

ALT This image shows details about the article linked in the post. The article was published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair. The title is "The Kinematics of 3D Arm Movements in Sub-Acute Stroke: Impaired Inter-Joint Coordination is Attributable to Both Weakness and Flexor Synergy Intrusion". Additional information can be found at the link provided.
Our paper – with Tricia Gibo and Maurice Smith – is now out in PNAS! “The Cerebellum acts as the analog to the Medial Temporal Lobe for Sensorimotor Memories”pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
An updated #tweetprint:
We found 15 reaching studies examining adaptation after cerebellar damage. While timing data were not available, studies using 4-8 targets– meaning that on average it would take long to revisit the same target – reported >2x impairment than studies that used 1-3 targets. 19/n
I'd like to thank the two (anonymous) reviewers for their constructive feedback, which has definitely strengthened the paper. Special thanks to Sarah Hemminger, @reziliusReza, Amy Bastian, and
@herzfeldd for helping us acquire and parse the data. 20/20
