V1 Interneurons: The Spinal Cord’s Hidden Conductors
Published:
Most neuroscience coverage focuses on the brain. That makes sense — the brain is where perception, memory, and thought live. But walking, running, and even the simple act of reaching for a coffee cup happen largely because of circuits that never consult the brain at all. The spinal cord is not just a cable connecting the brain to the body. It is a computational device in its own right, and embedded within it is a rich population of interneurons that orchestrate nearly everything your muscles do.
The H-Reflex: A Window Into the Spinal Cord Without Going Inside It
Published:
Most of what we know about the brain and spinal cord comes from indirect measurements. For decades, one of the most useful probes of spinal circuit function has been the deceptively simple H-reflex, which you can record from a muscle using just a surface electrode.
The PhD Pivot: Translating Quantitative Research Skills to Industry Roles
Published:
PhDs are often told they need to “re-skill” to transition to industry. That framing suggests a deficiency in technical or professional capability that doctoral research does not address. In my experience the opposite is closer to the truth: the challenge is recognizing existing skills and translating them into language that resonates with non-academic audiences.
