Living science, workshops and event, March 2025
For the Cambridge festival, a group of PDN postdocs produced a live performance reflecting on life in the sciences and the role of trust and time - or lack thereof - in their day-ro-day. The performance came together by working as a group through a series of creative exercises facilitated by the CultureLab.

Unraveling the brain's hidden motor modules
Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...
Scientists, co-led by PDN's Dr Keita Tamura, discovered previously unknown neural modules that control mouth movements.
By studying how the modules interact, they hope to better understand the complex mechanisms of the brain through simpler interaction of the modules.
