Our atlas is now out in @NatureComms! Thank you to our reviewers whose insightful comments helped sharpen our argument. I might have had too much fun with the 33-page response - glad it lives alongside the paper. rdcu.be/dViIJ
🧠Big news, little brain 🧠 I’m excited to share our preprint introducing our hierarchical cerebellar atlas!🎉 We fused many fMRI datasets into a comprehensive map of the cerebellum - and created a new resource for localizing and interpreting data. 🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
Highly recommend every postdoc apply to this! I very much enjoyed my visit and the discussions.
Are you a neuroscience postdoc interested in an academic career? Apply by 05/31/25 for this invited seminar at MIT's Brain and Cognitive Sciences department! Applications are reviewed by postdoc, keeping in mind the importance of varied contributions to the scientific community!
Just touched down at the Cerebellum GRC in Switzerland and was immediately greeted by this very official delegate, the Gordon Research Cow. Excited to kick off the Trainee Seminar and soak in a few days of cerebellar chatter and beautiful scenery. 🏔️🧠 #GRCCerebellum
Caroline Nettekoven's Brain Star Award winning publication has led to the development of a functional atlas of the human cerebellum can-acn.org/brain-star-awa… @WesternU @carobellum @cihr_irsc
This is a call to all free minds who want to advance science and stand up for a certain model of society. Researchers from around the world, choose Europe for science!
Registration now open! FSL Course 2025 will be held fully online, 15th – 26th September. Details & registration info here: open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fslcours… The course covers lectures & hands-on practicals on structural, functional, diffusion and resting state brain image analysis.

It was a pleasure speaking at Western's Neuroscience Research Day yesterday! I am so grateful to the Neuroscience community here for all their support these past three years. Thanks to the students for organizing this fantastic day! #NRD2025 @SONGSuwo @WesternuWIN @Brains_CAN
The first paper out of the Snell lab is live! This review was led by my postdoc Dr. Nichelle Jackson. We dove into the cerebellar contribution to dystonia, specifically focusing on Purkinje cell and cerebellar nuclei dysfunction and calcium handling. frontierspartnerships.org/journals/dysto…
Call to End Freeze on Federal Grants The White House's pause on federal grants threatens our nation’s scientific progress. This unprecedented freeze will impact students and trainees who rely on grants, funded investigators, and patients waiting for critical discoveries and…
A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers

Excited to share my latest work with @DiedrichsenJorn and @andpru. In this work, we ask whether motor sequence learning is motoric at all! Check out the 🧵version of the abstract: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n
We will start accepting applications for GRS Cerebellum from Dec 19 until all 70 spots fill up—so don’t wait too long! Who else is planning to join? Let’s dive into cerebellar science together! Apply here: grc.org/cerebellum-grs… #CerebellumGRS @carobellum
Join us for the 2025 Cerebellum GRS! We will start accepting applications for GRS Cerebellum from Dec 19 until all 70 spots fill up - so don't wait too long. Remember you can change your abstract until March. Apply here: grc.org/cerebellum-grs… @linda_h_kim #Cerebellum
#JNeurosci | @GiacomoAriani, @_mshahbazi, and @diedrichsenlab discovered that cortical brain regions engaged during the planning and initiation of movements remained engaged throughout movement sequence performance. This suggests that planning and execution of movement are…
Congratulations to Charlotte Stagg who delivered the GL Brown Prize Lecture 2024 @OxfordDPAG. During #PhysiologyWeek, @cjstagg presented on human neuroimaging as a tool for #physiology in the 21st century. Here are a few photo highlights from the event @OxfordWIN @NDCNOxford.
Had a truly inspiring few days at the @RaynorProject summit. Great to meet so many brilliant trainees who want to drive the cerebellar field forward! #RCPNeuroMod
The Diedrichsen Lab is now accepting applications for MSc/PhD positions starting Fall 2025. If you’re interested in the human motor system and/or cerebellum with a focus on motor control, learning, and cognition, apply by Dec 15! Application instructions: diedrichsenlab.org
I’m excited to share our (@action_brain @Brian_Corneil) preprint commentary on recent work by Yu & Katz et al on face-detection by the primate superior colliculus. We highlight their impressive work and provide an alternative explanation of their finding. doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…
