Our paper is finally out on our experimentally-driven neuromechanical model to explain how spinal inhibition makes you do things faster! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

New profile up! I had the great pleasure of interviewing @GattoGraziana on her career, passion for spinal cord circuits, and more. Check it out :)

Last week to apply for a PhD position in my lab to dissect the cortico-spinal circuits for hindlimb control in healthy and Huntington mice. Email me CV, cover letter at the latest by Jan 22.

Excited to share our latest work-#Autophagy protects Purkinje cells by keeping their glycolysis low! A novel link between brain metabolism and #neurodegeneration. Gratefull to all collaborators for making this possible! #GattoGraziana #FrezzaLab #CRC1451 nature.com/articles/s4225…

What if you could target brain regions important for recovery after spinal cord injury with DBS? Can you say hypothamamus? Guess what Cho and colleagues from Switzerland did just that in a brilliant new paper @NatureMedicine. Key Points: - People don't think about it, but guess…

How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

We have a PhD position available to study neuronal functions of autophagy and endocytosis.

One PhD position open in the Gatto Lab from January 2025 to functionally dissect the input onto hindlimb premotor interneurons during locomotion in physiological and pathological (Huntington disease) states.
