New in @SfNJournals from @SurLabMIT: Astrocytes play a crucial partnership role with motor cortex neurons as they encode learning of skilled movement tasks. picower.mit.edu/news/astrocy… @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT #neuroscience #MIT @neuro_runnerd @ChloeDelepine

Astrocyte cells critical for learning skilled movements

When astrocyte function is disrupted, neurons in the brain’s motor cortex struggle to execute and refine motion, a new study in mice shows.

Today's FDA approval of #Trofinetide could bring new, much needed hope to many with #Rettsyndrome and their families. In 2009 @SurLabMIT made the first preclinical showing that IGF-1 could have therapeutic potential. picower.mit.edu/news/3-quest… @mit @mitscience @mitbrainandcog

On March 10 the FDA approved Trofinetide, a drug based on the protein IGF-1, as the first drug available to treat Rett syndrome. The original research showing that IGF-1 could treat Rett syndrome was...

The brain uses basic calculus to quickly halt fast movements — a surprisingly clever way to control behaviors that need to be more precise than the commands from the brain can be. @KSHartnett reports: quantamagazine.org/the-brain…

The Brain Uses Calculus to Control Fast Movements | Quanta Magazine

Researchers discover that to sharpen its control over precise maneuvers, the brain uses comparisons between control signals — not the signals themselves.

Running to catch the bus? The brain is wired for the rapid calculus needed to bring you to a halt right at the doors before they close, a new @SurLabMIT study in @CellReports suggests. picower.mit.edu/news/sprint-… #neuroscience @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT

Sprint then stop? Brain is wired for the math to make it happen

To ensure a quick halt, brain circuit architecture avoids a slow process of integration in favor of quicker differentiation, study finds

New in @Nature from @SurLabMIT: Well timed and located releases of noradrenaline within the brain facilitate task execution and encoding reinforcement to improve performance accuracy picower.mit.edu/news/how-bra… @vbprovencher @gabidrummond24 @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog #neuroscience

How the brain responds to surprising events

Unexpected outcomes trigger release of noradrenaline, which helps the brain focus its attention and learn from the event

I’m still in quite the disbelief…. But I got it!!! Y’all have no idea how much this means to me… my grandmother passed away earlier this week, and I know she is working her magic up there already. This one is for you Abuelita 🙏🏽♥️ QEPD #nsfgrfp
