Both vestibular and proprioceptive input are crucial for generating an estimate of body motion and orientation. In her new paper, postdoc @MildrenRobyn reveals how these inputs are combined to enhance self-motion encoding in the posterior cerebellum.

We are excited to welcome our new postdoc, Dr. Mingyu Hu! Mingyu earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is interested in brain-machine interfaces, and how the brain processes self-motion to improve motor control.

Circling is observed in many mouse vestibular disorder models but is often left unquantified. Our paper, led by Oliver Stanley @oliwhail, introduces a tool leveraging @DeepLabCut to automatically identify circling and facilitate behavioral quantification.
