Abigail Person
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Department of Physiology and Biophysics
Abigail Person's research focuses on the cerebellum and its role in motor control and learning. Her work investigates how cerebellar circuits contribute to the accuracy of motor actions, such as reaching movements in mice. She also explores the integration of sensory feedback and motor commands in cerebellar processing, particularly examining the function of corollary discharge signals and feedback loops within cerebellar pathways.
