Poppy Read-Pitt, 20, who believes her drink was spiked in 2020, says little had changed since then.

Journalist, BBC East Midlands Today

Figures obtained by the BBC suggest that while there were nearly 5,000 reports of spiking-related incidents to forces in 2021/22, there were just 40 convictions in four years. Ms Read-Pitt, who is in the third year of an English literature degree at the University of Nottingham, said: "The very least we can do is make it a specific crime.

Emergent low-frequency activity in cortico-cerebellar networks with motor skill learningEmergent low-frequency activity in cortico-cerebellar networks with motor skill learningThe motor cortex controls skilled arm movement by recruiting a variety of targets in the nervous system, and it is important to understand the emergent activity in these regions as refinement of a motor skill occurs. One fundamental projection of the motor cortex (M1) is to the cerebellum. However, the emergent activity in the motor cortex and the cerebellum that appears as a dexterous motor skill is consolidated is incompletely understood. Here, we report on low-frequency oscillatory (LFO) activity that emerges in cortico-cerebellar networks with learning the reach-to-grasp motor skill. We chronically recorded the motor and the cerebellar cortices in rats which revealed the emergence of coordinated movement-related activity in the local-field potentials (LFPs) as the reaching skill consolidated. Interestingly, we found this emergent activity only in the rats that gained expertise in the task. We found that the local and cross-area spiking activity was coordinated with LFOs in proficient rats. Finally, we also found that these neural dynamics were more prominently expressed during accurate behavior in the M1. This work furthers our understanding on emergent dynamics in the cortico-cerebellar loop that underlie learning and execution of precise skilled movement. Significance Statement Movement execution involves parallel processing across brain regions, with the motor cortex (M1) being a key hub that recruits several subcortical nodes. The cerebellar cortex is a principal receiver of M1 projections via pons, but the emergent dynamics in these regions with motor skill learning is incompletely understood. We performed simultaneous recordings of M1 and cerebellum in a reach-to-grasp task. We found low frequency activity and coordinated neural dynamics emerged within and across regions with skillful task execution. Recent interest in modulating cortico-cerebellar networks for motor-recovery post-injury/stroke make this work an important precursor to assessing whether sim
