Juan Gallego
Thinking about the brain, spinal cord, and how we move (and related neurotechnology). Into books, music, coffee, food, photography+art, animals & some humans. Now group leader at Champalimaud Research

(A collab led by the Trenholm lab) We tried to bring the experience of experimental neuroscience to a classroom setting: www.eneuro.org/content/13/1... #neuroscience 🧪

- Reposted by Juan GallegoExcited to share @rbrianroome.bsky.social ‘s beautiful paper on development of the dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord @science.org This is how the anatomical organization and cell types that process pain, touch, body position and more are laid down. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- 🚨📜+🧵🚨 Very excited about this work showing that people with no hand function following a spinal cord injury can control the activity of motor units from those muscles to perform 1D, 2D and 3D tasks, play video games, or navigate a virtual wheelchair By a wonderful team co-mentored w Dario Farina
- New preprint! We show that people with tetraplegic spinal cord injury can use their residual motor unit activity to achieve up to three dimensional control using non-invasive high-density surface EMG With my co-first authors Xingchen Yang and Ciara Gibbs www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/13
- Reposted by Juan GallegoJoint junior faculty position in Computational Neuroscience, between Ctr for Computational Neuroscience at @flatironinstitute.org and the CUNY Graduate Center @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social . Application deadline: 16 Jan 2026! www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/car... cuny.jobs/new-york-ny/...
- New paper led by wonder postdocs Francesca Greenstreet and @jessegeerts.bsky.social and @clopathlab.bsky.social trying to understand why –in the "what for" sense– there are multiple motor learning systems –supervised and RL-based– in the brain. Check out Jesse's 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- 🧠 New year, new preprint! Why does motor learning involve multiple brain regions? We propose that the cortico-cerebellar system learns a "map" of actions where similar movements are nearby, while basal ganglia do RL in this simplified space. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

- Reposted by Juan GallegoGreat to see this paper on sensory expectations in motor control from @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social and @andpru.bsky.social out in Nature today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience 🧪
- Reposted by Juan GallegoGo work with Juan! I can vouch that this will be a very cool project.
- Super happy for having been awarded an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant to continue our basic neuroscience work on the neural basis for motor control and motor learning. What a great way to set things up here at Champalimaud! 🎉 🚨 Job Alert for postdocs research technicians, and PhD students in 🧵

- If you want to do a postdoc or PhD —through our INDP program— or work as a technician to understand how the brain controls movement & learns new skills using neural recordings + manipulations, computational techniques —manifolds!— and models ... we'll be hiring ~4 people starting early in 2026 !!!
