How does the #brain transfer #MotorSkills between hands? This study reveals that transfer relies on re-expressing the neural patterns established during initial learning in distributed higher-order brain areas, offering new insights into learning #generalization @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/41LOAWf

When #pregnant #farmworkers & others are exposed to the #pesticide, their #babies can experience changes to fetal #thyroid hormone levels, which are linked to low #birth weight, impaired #brain development, decreased #IQ & #impaired #MotorSkills later in life.

“#DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately,” Michal Freedhoff, asst admin for the #EPA’s Office of #Chemical Safety & #Pollution Prevention, said.

A magician is a named researcher on the paper.

The more scientists interact with people with contrasting skills and perspectives - artists in residence, in this case - the better.

I say that with 20 years of lab research behind me.

Hello! I'm new here so I'll briefly introduce myself

I'm a postdoc in developmental psychology at the University of Basel studying #cognition, #gait and #motorskills with #EEG

Much of my research is centered around improving the understanding of #neurodevelopmental conditions and their co-occurrences, especially #ADHD and #DCD / #Dyspraxia

I'm looking forward to finding those of you with similar interests and engaging with the #neurodiverse community here!
