Prof of PhysPharm and Psych at Western University. Interested in sensorimotor control and non-invasive modes of brain stimulation.
New preprint alert! See thread below by @lehmannsj.bsky.social describing his heroic efforts where we test some important assumptions about cTBS. This was a beast of an experiment so we’re very interested in community feedback.
We're excited to share our new paper: “cTBS of prefrontal cortex in the behaving macaque: no evidence for within-target inhibition or cross-hemisphere disinhibition of neural activity”

What did we find? Mostly... what we didn’t! 🧵

New lab preprint on express visuomotor responses in PD, this time on the lower limb. This one shows that EVRs on the lower limb are also spared in PD, and are reciprocally regulated with ensuing anticipatory postural adjustments. Great job by first author Lucas Billen! doi.org/10.1101/2024...

New results from the lab – spared reflexive responses in PD. Think express saccades, but for arm muscles. Huge credit to co-first authors Madeline Gilchrist and Becca Kozak, and other collaborators. Straight line from our animal work to this, and more to come soon. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Despite significant deficits in voluntary motor control, patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) can generate reflexive or stimulus-driven movements. How are such spared capabilities realized? Here, we...
