How do you feel? Exploring how afferents produce sensations in humans, using #microneurography. Group leader Dr Rochelle Ackerley CRPN, CNRS-Aix-Marseille Univ
Pinned
NEW ISSUE: in our April 2026 issue, read the latest content on stroke, Alzheimer's disease, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, hand prostheses, traumatic brain injury, and much more: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Thrilled to share our new paper in @thelancetneuro.bsky.social on “Hand prostheses with somatosensory feedback: functional and clinical benefits”.
We assess current #neuroprothestic options and how we can really restore the sense of self after #hand #amputation for naturalistic interactions.

A very interesting take on storytelling in The Matrix (best film ever 😉🤩). You could even take this narrative and apply it for storytelling in an academic talk
THE MATRIX was released 27 years ago today (March 31, 1999). If you’re a storyteller, the first eight pages of its screenplay is a masterclass on how to introduce a complicated world. I’m constantly encouraging people to study them…which is probably why I wrote this article about them.
