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

tinyurl.comNaturalistic climbing reveals adaptive strategies for interlimb coordination in freely moving miceMulti-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
