We’ve identified the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN), a newly recognized network within human primary motor cortex that disrupts the famous—but incorrect—motor homunculus, and has strong connections to high-level control networks.

Do #praxis and #language share neurocognitive substrates? This study with former post-doc (now at U. Wisconsin- Madison) @HaleyDresang and @WongAaronL capitalizes on dual-route models in both the language and action domains to clarify overlap (and lack thereof). @MossResearch https://twitter.com/HaleyDresang/status/1643616253020340225

🚨 New paper! 🚨
We often fail to foresee how our science can indirectly harm individuals and groups, e.g., by shaping social perceptions.
In a new @PLOSCompBiol paper, we outline ten simple rules to facilitate thinking on our social impacts
