New Year, New Challenge

Very excited to head across the pond to @uofg to work with @LbentLeah in the @BentNeurophys lab!

After 8 years @sheffielduni, this brings new opportunities, people & chances to strengthen & forge collaborations!

Lots of exciting projects coming in 2025

A few lab highlights from Neuroscience 2024 in Chicago @SfNtweets . @T2SHR and @LauraMarrelli presented some of their recent work. It was great catching up with our science friends and hearing about their research. #sfn2024

[JNP @JNeurophysiol]

➡️This #SuggestedRead by Emma B. Plater et al. showed that cutaneous reflexes, known to be present in response to foot sole stimulation, can also be evoked by stimulation of hairy leg skin.

Check out this Scribe article discussing our recent publication from @ErikaEHowe's thesis. Things are heating up in the lab! 🔥🦶

[College of Biological Science @UofGCBS]

🦶Loss of foot sensitivity can make it harder to maintain balance & increases the risk of falls.

Research by @ErikaEHowe & Dr. Leah Bent from @UofG_HHNS found that heating the foot can enhance skin sensitivity & improve motor reflexes in the lower leg.

🚨Publication 2/4 from Phd Thesis! Excited to share this work. Its a great FEELING to get this out.

Associating cutaneous perception to microvascular blood flow in the foot sole.
