#introduction Hi, I am an Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, with interests in anatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropsychology. My work and publications were on the motor system (motor, supplementary motor, premotor, prefrontal, basal ganglia, cerebellum), using both animals, fMRI with people, and rTMS. I published a monograph on the Prefrontal Cortex in 2021 (OUP). How is that for a self-serving advertisement? I promise, never again. I hope there will be less. boasting here v Twitter.

A proposal for how we could make a Twitter to Mastodon migration actually work (let me know what you think, this is something we could actually do this if people were willing to invest in such a thing):

My #introduction is overdue. I’m a professor at Penn who studies memory using systems and computational approaches. I’m also writing a book: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What’s our plan to get there? What challenges do we face? #neuroscience #author

Writing has deepened my appreciation for community-based progress. I’m excited to be on this inclusive platform where we can leverage collective intelligence, and work through conceptual blocks together.

Hi Mastodon! Another migrating neurobiologist here - I’m a sensory neuroscience postdoc at Cornell University working on optimizing functional imaging of #brainstem circuits using #multiphoton #microscopy in awake, behaving mice.
Looking forward to the new chapter here!

Welcome @smthomasy . Fabulous 👁scientist, #womeninstem
