For today's episode we learn about the cerebellum with Dr. Reza Shadmehr. Dr. Shadmehr is a trailblazing neuroscientist whose groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of how the brain controls movement. With a rich academic journey—from a bachelor's in electrical engineering to a PhD in robotics and computer science, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT—Dr. Shadmehr now leads the Shadmehr Lab at Johns Hopkins University. We dive into his pioneering theories, including motor memory consolidation, state space theory, and the neural encoding of action by the cerebellum's Purkinje cells. The conversation explores the physics of motor movement, prediction, error correction, and the often-overlooked power of the cerebellum—a brain region Dr. Shadmehr calls an “underrated yet powerful” player in our daily lives.Dr. Shadmehr shares his personal path into neuroscience, sparked by a childhood fascination with the brain. This curiosity led him to blend engineering principles with biology, culminating in a lifelong mission to decode how the brain builds internal models for movement. We unpack the cerebellum's critical role in fine-tuning actions—like stopping the tongue precisely or ensuring eye movements hit their mark, to cutting-edge research with marmosets. The episode also touches on the interplay between reward, effort, and cerebellar function, revealing surprising discoveries about how this brain region cancels noise to keep our movements smooth and purposeful.

Professor Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos from the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy is on The Course this week to discuss his career path. From majoring in physics to psychology, to playing the Bouzouki and working in Greece for a year, it was only later in life that Professor Hatsopoulos found Neuroscience and found his passion as a scientist working on how the brain directs body movements. As his research team continues to explore this field, wearable robots or exoskeletons might not be too far in the horizon. Tune in to hear more about his career story!

Why doesn't the MESENCEPHALON further subdivide into larger regions of the brain?In this episode, we will expand on the neurulation time and focus on the brain formation, spotlighting the proencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon, which emerge around days 22–23 of embryonic life. The proencephalon (forebrain) splits into the telencephalon—think cerebral hemispheres for cognition—and the diencephalon, home to the thalamus and hypothalamus for sensory and hormonal control. Meanwhile, the rhombencephalon (hindbrain) divides into the metencephalon (pons and cerebellum, key for movement) and myelencephalon (medulla, handling [mostly] autonomic essentials like breathing). The mesencephalon stands out as a non-subdividing relay hub. The mesencephalon offers tremendous insights into the Autistic phenotype with its roles in biasing the living organism's attention to the environment.Autism and the Womb https://youtu.be/NOVp4mIrougAutism, Neurulation, & Embryogenesis https://youtu.be/TXkc93uGNuwAutism & Eye Movements https://youtu.be/1amB5e9qzg4Autism & Sensory Processing Part 1 https://youtu.be/HPvwvtu5hB4Autism & Sensory Processing Part 2 https://youtu.be/iWy9RligzicDaylight Computer Company https://daylightcomputer.comuse "autism" in the discount code for $25 coupon.This is the future of tech.Chroma Light Therapy https://getchroma.couse "autism" for a 10% discount,0:00 Daylight Computer Company04:22 Neuralation and Brain Development05:09 Maternal Factors and Biomarkers (Tyrosine, Hypothyroidism, etc.)06:46 Tryptophan and Its Role in Embryogenesis08:34 Environmental Insults and Toxins09:19 Embryogenesis and Brain Formation (Proencephalon, Mesencephalon, Rhombencephalon10:43 Telencephalon10:57 Diencephalon12:34 Rhombencephalon12:52 Metencephalon13:35 Myelencephalon15:12 Evolutionary Perspective of the Mesencephalon21:39 Chroma Light Devices24:48 Mesencephalon's Role in Motor Control, Sensory Processing, and Autism; 27:12 Extrapyramidal motor system; Substantia Nigra, Red Nucleus30:11 Additional Nuclei of the Midbrain; Ocular Motor Nuclei; Edingher-Westphal; Trochlear nerve 31:58 Paraaqueductal Gray (PAG), "Retard Strength" and Its Role in Pain, Behaviors and Autism; "Freezing" in Flight, Fight, & Freeze 36:00 Eye Movements; learning & Neuroplasticity; Motor Planning, Proprioception, Language and Speech 38:20 Wrap UpX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

In this episode Dr. Riley Kirk interviews researcher Dr. Whitney Ogle about using cannabis for exercise, Dr. Ogle is passionate about this subject because she has found the benefits of medicating before runs, hikes and other forms of exercise and believes it can be a tool to a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Kirk and Dr. Ogle talk about what reserach that is currently happening, how both of them personally integrate cannabis and exercise, navigating difficult conversations, the role of CBD and more. Dr. Ogle's Bio: My personal mission is to make the science of human movement meaningful, understandable, and applicable to daily life. I am guided by my values in finding connections among concepts from diverse sources, striking a balance between cultivating new ideas and improving on current designs, and continual growth by learning with and from others. Originally from Chicagoland, I have moved all over the United States for school and work. I earned my Bachelors degree in Exercise Science from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. While in my Doctorate in Physical Therapy program at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, I had the opportunity to do clinical rotations in Utah, Arizona, Washington, Western Colorado, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After I completed my DPT degree, I worked as an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist near Seattle and helped with functional capacity evaluations of injured workers north of Seattle. I decided to go back to school to get more involved in research at Indiana University where I earned a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and a PhD in Human Performance with a focus on Motor Control and Motor Learning with a minor in Psychological Brain Sciences. While I was working towards these degrees, I worked as a home health physical therapist for babies 6 months to 3 years old in rural Southern Indiana and occasionally in skilled nursing facilities for older adults who were medically stable enough to be out of the hospital but not safe enough to be at home. I was drawn to Cal Poly Humboldt because of its strong focus in social justice, giving students hands on experience with research, and because it is physically beautiful! I enjoy rock climbing, slacklining, swimming, hiking, and going on walks with my cats.

Wes Goodman recently completed his PhD in Exercise and Nutrition Science with an emphasis in Biomechanics and Motor Control at Montana State University under Dr. David Graham with our very own Dr. Helms on his committee as well. But he's more than an academic, he's a certified strength and conditioning specialist, gym owner, power lifter, strong man and Highland Games competitor! He studied how musculoskeletal modelling can help us understand the nuances of how the body performs squats. In this episode you'll learn about the theory and application of motor control to lifting, the limitations of common biomechanics studies, and how modelling helps us understand that muscles can influence joints they don't actually cross, and to Omar's dismay, that a calf raise might actually be a squat accessory exercise!

Hannah came into semifinals as a backfill from the 62nd position.  She starts the weekend with an amazing performance and didn't let up.  After slipping a bit on Sunday she got the taste of what is possible and we found out what she is going to do to make this a consistent performance. Hannah studies body movement and got her graduate degree in BioMechanics with her thesis studying the movement quality of Isabell. She then worked with NBA Talents trying to get drafted as an internship and expanded into post physical therapy development, then one day she realized she was not cut out for the 8-5 office gig, picked up and moved to Austin, Texas, where she dove into CrossFit head first and is now never looking back.photo cred in thumbnail @emomphoto

Ep 152: ​​Why Has My Patient Stopped Improving? In this episode, Erica discusses the fine points of what to do when your patient stops improving. AKA a plateau.  Problem-solving through a patient plateau requires sound clinical reasoning and a reflection back to the patient's story. Looking at the injury and movement history-there can be a clue there. Change their COM and reassess another movement pattern.  Listen in as Erica gives you the steps to take when this happens to you. A case example is also presented to illustrate the point. Ultimately, challenging the human movement system in different ways along with an objective look at the patient's narrative will give you your answer.   A glance at this episode: [2:15] Going back to the patient's story [4:06] Reassess another movement pattern  [5:50] Why another assessment tool is crucial [7:45] When to problem solve through a plateau [10:02] The first injury sets them up and their movement history keeps them there [12:01] How to assess center of mass  [13:52] Training the center of mass in a functional movement pattern [15:16] Why the knee mattered    Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript

Electric motors are widely used in several electronic applications; they are everywhere Market analysts estimate that 11 billion electric motors are added to the market annually and consume 45 percent of all electrical energy. In this podcast with Jose Quinones, Staff Applications Engineer at Qorvo's Programmable Power Management Group, we will analyze the fundamental concepts every designer, maker, or student must master to face a motor control application.  

A journey through the complex network of regions controlling the human motor system, beginning with the spinal cord and its central pattern generators, and working up through the primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex, the posterior parietal cortex, the cerebellum, and the basal ganglia. I discuss the computational roles of each part of the motor control hierarchy, focusing on what functions are performed and what information is represented in each unique brain region. Overall I emphasise the complex interaction between top-down and bottom-up feedback in controlling muscle movement and executing complex motor tasks. Recommended pre-listening is Episode 132: The Muscular System, and Episode 38: Neurons and Synapses.   If you enjoyed the podcast please consider supporting the show by making a PayPal donation or becoming a Patreon supporter. https://www.patreon.com/jamesfodor https://www.paypal.me/ScienceofEverything

Your patient has a dysfunctional thorax and it's driving their symptoms, wherever they are. How can you clinically reason treating a non-painful thorax for distal symptoms, such as the foot and hip? The body translates the head, thorax, and the pelvis over the feet for many reasons. Offloading a painful foot, knee, hip is one reason, the other can be an ingrained movement pattern that has been there for years because of an old injury or from a dominant movement or sport history. Join Susan and Erica as they discuss thoracic drivers and how they can relate to hip and foot dysfunction. They discuss patterns of non-optimal movement in the thorax and how you would progress exercise appropriately in these patients.   A glance at this episode: [2:13] The thoracic driver is part of the body that is not moving well [6:47] How do you know if it's a thoracic driver [8:40] What's driving the pain [15:12] Working into the thorax to improve proprioception [19:02] Compression on the dominant side of the body [20:34] Looking further into more drivers [25:52] The importance of proprioceptors and proprioception Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript

On this discussion based podcast we tease out some principles of motor control issues. Often issues are not related to mobility or stability rather motor output. The body can struggle with interpreting the movement demand and fail at producing an efficient response. We talk through some clinical examples and quick movement fixes. Enjoy!

The yips has been described as a wiring problem in the brain. But what is a wiring problem in the brain? It may be dystonia, a neurological movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle spasms or jerks, and on this episode of Losing Control, host Justin Su'a talks with Dr. Steven Frucht, a neurologist who has been treating people who suffer from movement disorders for decades. And for a broader exploration of how we move, you'll also meet two neuroscientists whose cutting edge work focuses on the neural control of movement, or how the brain controls the body: Dr. Alaa Ahmed and Dr. Lena Ting.   Dr. Alaa Ahmed, professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder Dr. Steven Frucht, a neurologist and movement disorder clinician at NYU Langone Health Dr. Lena Ting, professor at Emory University and Georgia Tech Aaron, a musician who suffers from dystonia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the most downloaded episodes of this podcast is Episode 59: ROM, Neuroscience + Yoga with Garrett Neill. In that episode we talked about the difference between Active Range of Motion and Passive Range of Motion, the three main barriers to range of motion that show up in our joints, some of the reasons the body might “tighten” and limit our range of motion, what we should we be thinking about in terms of how we teach movement when it comes to creating stability and how mobility and flexibility are different from one another.

On this week's episode, Julie invited Dr. Alex Rosado to discuss the relationship between mobility and stability as it pertains to movement. Alex is a Board Certified Sports specialist in Physical Therapy, business owner and lover of all things movement and performance. Alex and I dive into the importance of core stability, how to properly address movement dysfunction, and practical takeaways that you can start using to improve your functional movement.

We're getting geeky again! Elisse Miki of Equilibria Therapeutics and I venture into more of our favourite territory, this time focusing on the nervous system, neuroplasticity, motor control, rehabilitation, what cranial work has to do with any of this, and all things neuroscience. With a herd of seniors (one over 40 years old!) that love to move and are getting more agile and fit every time I see them, Elisse is definitely doing something very right. Rehabilitation of horses is a huge topic, and this episode might give you some clues on why your horse is not recovering from an injury or accident the way you thought they would, and some simple exercises that incorporate motor control and neuroplasticity to start shifting gears, even if your horse is on stall rest. As a human and equine therapist with over 15 years of experience working with clients in a therapeutic setting, Elisse brings a wide variety of modalities into her practice. She began her career working as an Exercise Physiologist having completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology then went on to obtain her Registered Massage Therapy Licence. She has since gone on to complete Diplomas in Equine Therapy, Equine Craniosacral, and currently in the process of completing both her Human and Equine Osteopathy Diplomas concurrently. Elisse is also an Instructor of RMT at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Instructor. Some of her clients include the Langley Equestrian Academy, Cloverdale Rodeo, and the International Professional Rugby 7s teams. Her current focus lies in research and development of current standards of practice in the equine industry. Elisse hosts clinics for horse owners and existing health care professionals and equine therapists. www.equilibriatherapeutics.com

What is motor control? What does acceptable motor control look like? Listen in to this episode as Andrew explains the theoretical concepts behind the complex neuromuscular system that controls how we move. Motor control on a basic level consists of: (1) necessary input from the somatosensory system sending signals back to your central nervous system, (2) the ability of the nervous system to sufficiently process that information, and (3) responding with an acceptable movement output.The human body functions with two primary goals. Survival and efficiency. This carries over to even modern-day rehabilitation, strength & conditioning, and sports performance training. Survival and efficiency can provide some clues as to how and why people adapt the way they do to training stimuli. Some people will adapt to training stimuli in a positive way that builds them up. Others may compensate in a negative way that breaks their body down in a viscous circle manner. Andrew breaks down how survival and efficiency are important components to understand when striving to optimize performance. As motor control improves, the goal is to improve the consistency of motor control through training. Andrew discusses imprinting motor patterns, or in Layman's terms developing “muscle memory.” Imprinting motor patterns is training the nervous system to consistently interpret, process, and respond to control movement. As that motor control system gets fine-tuned, injury risk goes down and performance starts to improve. Visually, that is what the eye interprets as athletic, coordinated, and smooth movement.
