#motorlearning — Public Fediverse posts

🧠 New preprint by Greenstreet, Geerts, Gallego, and Clopath on #MotorLearning across #cortex, #cerebellum, and #BasalGanglia.

Key idea: supervised learning builds a low-dimensional action embedding, and #ReinforcementLearning operates directly in this structured space. This explains generalization, interference, and striatal similarity patterns as geometric consequences, not add-ons.

Motor learning at #SfN24

It has been almost 10 years now that we have come to the realization that a particular type of our operant experiments can be classified as motor learning. In such "operant self-learning" experiments, the animal learns about the consequences of its own behavior and adjusts future behavior accordingly. In this experiment, a tethered fly, flying stationarily in an otherwise featureless environment, is trained to avoid/prefer one of two turning directions. The fly is tethered to a torque […]

This year, we have two posters for #SFN both in the morning.

On Tuesday, it'll be on optogenetic self-stimulation with Ben deBivort as co-author:

https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10892/presentation/28323

but it'll be mainly the recent work of undergraduate Luisa Guyton.

On Wednesday it'll be on different ways in which we improve #motorlearning in #Drosophila

It has been a few years that I have been this excited about work coming from our lab! Our latest preprint:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.16.520755v3

rests on a collaboration with Carsten Duch in Mainz:

https://enb-idn.biologie.uni-mainz.de/prof-dr-carsten-duch/

and describes #neuroscience experiments on a type of #motorlearning in #Drosophila that was first described in 1991:

https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF00194898.pdf

Now, we present which genes are required in which neurons for this type of learning to take place.

Shanaathanan Modchalingam finds that people seem to switch models rather than adapt an existing model when faced with a perturbation that is more clearly environmental than a simple rotation: sideways acceleration. Clever use of #VR virtual reality! #SCAPPS #MotorLearning

Our paper "Prior movement of one arm facilitates motor adaptation in the other" is out @ #JNeurosci.

We show that the direction of a prior movement of the other arm is an effective cue to allow adaptation to interfering force fields. The brain seems to use kinematic information in learned sequences involving different body parts to adjust movements of the same sequence.

Also our data is pretty.

Here comes a thread about our new preprint!
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.22.517483v1

We show that prior movement of the opposite arm is an effective cue to allow force field specific adaptation, while “sensory” prior movement is not.

This is work with @HeedLab, Ian Howard, Saskia Leupold, Arno Villringer, Vadim Nikulin and Bernhard Sehm.

Thanks to @jjodx (I think?) who already provided very insightful fb on the preprint!
