- I’m thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Center for Neural Science @NYU_CNS as an Assistant Professor in 2023! My lab will study how the spinal cord and its inputs from the brain enable skilled behavior.
- Did you know there are cells in the spinal cord that project directly to the striatum?
- How can a *single class* of neurons with access to most motor control regions help coordinate movement? Find out in our ✨freshly dropped✨ paper, where we reveal the collaborative organization of corticospinal projections through the nervous system. nature.com/articles/s4159…
- Cool! Did you know secondary auditory cortex has neurons that project directly to the spinal cord? 😉 nature.com/articles/s4159…
- I’m pleased that our cover art suggestion was chosen for the December issue of Nature Neuroscience! Shoutout to the QUASAR detection array on our @ZuckermanBrain @zeiss_micro Zeiss 710. Still my favorite microscope. @NatureNeuroOur December issue is now live! go.nature.com/3lnSXBF
- Pleased our study is now published. We catalog the structures and cell types innervated by corticospinal neurons (CSNs) of forelimb motor cortex. This research lays an anatomical foundation for many future functional studies from the lab.
- At long last the Nelson Lab has moved into its renovated space! We are 😤aggressively hiring 😤 so come start some experiments with us!
- I added a gallery of images to my website that would otherwise not be published. Let me know if you like.
- I'm very pleased to share our new collaborative study! We identify the spinal cell type targets of two unique groups of corticospinal neurons, and how these distinct descending circuits interact with the brain.
- The Nelson Lab at NYU is recruiting a Laboratory Associate to help us study the roles of the brain and spinal cord in skilled behavior. Apply here 👇👇or drop me a line! apply.interfolio.com/117751
- I'm excited and grateful to receive a NARSAD Young Investigator Grant. Thank you to @BBRFoundation for supporting our research! If you are interested in studying the role of spinothalamic circuits in health and disease, get in touch! 💯
- This is a must-read if you are interested in motor control! Congratulations to Claire and all others involved.
