PhD student @ Lifespan Motor Neuroscience Lab, University of Utah | Motor learning and memory consolidation across the lifespan | fMRI |🇧🇪
Joined June 2022
I'm very excited to announce that I will be joining the @memorylab1 team as a postdoctoral researcher starting June 2025! I will be funded by the postdoctoral fellowship of @ParkinsonCanada.
Congrats to @ankevr97 for obtaining a highly competitive 2 year postdoctoral fellowship by @ParkinsonCanada. Starting June 1st, Anke will be in the @memorylab1 continuing the @CIHR_IRSC funded RCT led by @jacopocristini that investigates the effects of exercise on sleep in PD.

It is finally online! In this new article, @AlbouyGenevieve, @DolfenNina, @BradKing_LMN, @ankevr97 and I looked at the influence of sleep on schema-facilitated motor memory integration. Spoiler alert: we didn't find any :') https://t.co/4WKF3xYDmr

Study objectives Novel information is rapidly learned when it is compatible with previous knowledge. This “schema” effect, initially described for declarative memories, was recently extended to the...
