- Awesome review on dysfunction in the cerebellum and schizophrenia by @roscoebrady.bsky.social and Melissa Hwang! www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...
- Go check out Ayesha Thanawalla’s poster on Sunday and hear about her identification of cerebellar output pathways that influence motor neuron activity, muscle recruitment, and forelimb kinematics. #SfN2025
- Congratulations Brian for receiving this award!
- Congratulations to our faculty, Dr. Brian Lawson, for receiving a Healthy Longevity Catalyst Award from the National Academy of Medicine for developing microglia with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-microglia) as treatment for multiple sclerosis. www.scintillon.org/brian-lawson...
- A fun collaboration with friends and colleagues back in Singapore where we examined how interactions of APP and APOE4 influence the progression of Alzheimer's disease pathology. www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu...
- Excited to be a part of this study lead by @eazim.bsky.social and Ayesha Thanawalla!
- In our newest preprint, Ayesha Thanawalla and team identify cerebellar output pathways that influence motor neuron activity, muscle recruitment, and forelimb kinematics within milliseconds, revealing subcortical pathways for rapid directional refinement of movement. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Congratulations to @betleylab.bsky.social and team on this beautiful study! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Thank you to everyone for attending my seminar and celebrating my promotion to full professor! Extremely grateful for the support from the Scintillon Institute, lab members past and present, colleagues, collaborators, mentors and family!

- Thanks Pete! Hope you are doing well!
- Congratulations on celebrating 10 years of exciting science @betleylab.bsky.social! Looking forward to following your work in the next 10 years!
- This summer, the #BetleyLab at @upenn.edu celebrated 10 years of exploring the fascinating dialogue between the body and the brain 🧠<>💪 From hunger to exercise, it's been an incredible decade of discovery. Follow along as we share some highlights over the next couple of weeks!
- Looking forward to reading this review on cerebellar mechanisms for motor control and learning by Katrina Nguyen and Abby Person! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Great paper by Françoise Muscatelli, @sebastienbouret.bsky.social and team investigating Prader-Willi syndrome by characterizing the behavioral, physiological, and transcriptomic changes in a novel PWS mouse model with a deletion of both Magel2 and Necdin. Congrats! insight.jci.org/articles/vie...
- Shout-out to my daughter for her continued work spreading mental health awareness! sdnews.com/mission-bay-...
- Robots finish half marathon racing against human runners! Most fell down and faced overheating problems, but 6 out of 21 finished! 🤣 www.wired.com/story/beijin...
- This is pretty wild! Electric spoon that enhances the perception of saltiness in food! techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/k...

- Congratulations @roscoebrady.bsky.social!
- Made a starter pack for researchers who are actively working on or have an interest in the cerebellum. DM me to be added or reply to this thread! 🧠🤏🏻 go.bsky.app/7X4ekSH #neuroscience #neuroskyence #cerebellum #neuroimaging #dbs #fmriat://did:plc:b7pxwgt77dr7ivrsm6s5zxc2/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbryvxdrba24

- #introduction My name is Albert Chen and I am an investigator at the Scintillon Institute in San Diego. Research in our lab aims to define the molecular, anatomical, and functional distinctions of neuronal subpopulations in the #cerebellum important for motor control and complex motivated behaviors.
