So great to catch up with @omc111.bsky.social today and learn about the exciting work his lab is doing to better understand algal pyrenoids and liquid-liquid phase separation.

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

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...

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...

Out today – our newest study on how the brain processes and filters signals of pain! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Summary written by Nathi Magubane penntoday.upenn.edu/news/its-all...

A parabrachial hub for need-state control of enduring pain - Nature

Activity in a set of parabranchial neurons in the mouse brain is increased during chronic pain, predicts coping behaviour, and can be modulated by circuits activated by survival threats.

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!

Congratulations on celebrating 10 years of exciting science @betleylab.bsky.social! Looking forward to following your work in the next 10 years!

The Betley Lab at UPenn@betleylab.bsky.social · last yr.

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...

Cerebellar circuit computations for predictive motor control - Nature Reviews Neuroscience

The cerebellum helps ensure the speed and accuracy of movements, but its precise contributions to movement control are unclear. Nguyen and Person here evaluate evidence for and against feedforward mot...

Thanks for the coverage NIMH ! (Anyone know if NIMH is on Bluesky?) www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science...

#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.
