Professor Meehan and former trainee Jasmine Mirdamadi publish new research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience

Professor Meehan and former research associate Jasmine Mirdamadi published new research identifying a specific group of interneurons in motor cortex upon which attention and cerebellar sensorimotor networks converge upon to shape the signals sent from the brain to the muscles involved in controlling a skilled motor behaviour.

This particular group of interneurons in the motor cortex may be a substrate where conscious and subconscious motor control processes interact to the benefit, or detriment, of skilled motor performance.

The paper titled "Specific sensorimotor interneuron circuits are sensitive to cerebellar-attention interactions" was published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
