Most of the team members of the CoActions Lab attended the 13th National Congress of the Belgian Society for Neuroscience (BSN) taking place at the Royal Academy for Arts and Sciences in Brussels, Belgium, on May 24, 2019. Gérard Derosière, Pierre Vassiliadis, Fanny Fievez, Caroline Quoilin and Julien Grandjean had been selected for a poster presentation whereas Emmanuelle Wilhelm had been selected for a scientific talk.
The CoActions Lab had the honour of taking home two prizes at this congress, since Gerard Derosiere and Emmanuelle Wilhelm won an award for best poster presentation and best oral presentation respectively!

Gerard and Pierre were in beautiful Japan to present their latest data at the Society for the Neural Control of Movement. Gerard presented his study on the impact of urgency on corticospinal excitability during action selection. Pierre showed data obtained with his new reward-based motor skill learning task. They both had very insightful conversations and learned a lot from the different talks and symposia. Arigato NCM!

Julie got a grant from the Belgian Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) involving 4 years of funding and the possibility to hire new postdoctoral fellows. The grant involves an amount of 300 kEuros and the project will aim at better understanding the functional role(s) played by inhibition in the motor system.
