Cerebellar dysfunction nearly always causes motor abnormalities - yet the precise presentation of these motor abnormalities varies. Raising the question: what determines the presentation of cerebellar dysfunction?

A thread on our newest preprint:

This was such a Joyful (pun intended) collaboration with @JoyJoyZhou, @luisalazl, @LaurenMiterko, @mpaveskov, @SillitoeLab, and twitter-less Tao, Amanda, Ross, and Dominic.

Did you know that the beta-blocker propranolol is so effective in reducing tremors that it is banned in the Olympics?

But how does it work?

Read it in the new @SillitoeLab paper led by @JoyJoyZhou: https://t.co/ytseXwmRu4

Congratulations @JoyJoyZhou and the @SillitoeLab for this publication investigating how Propranolol modulates cerebellar circuit activity and reduces tremor! 🧠🔬🥼#cerebellum #tremor #circuit

@Meikeesther1 You mean me shaking my fist at you & yelling “you’re doing that PI thing!!!” wasn’t enough indication?

New paper alert from our @SillitoeLab postdocs, @Meikeesther1 and @jasonsgill, on the links between cerebellar development and ASD! It's a fantastic deep dive into a subject matter that'll only become increasingly relevant bench-to-bedside. https://t.co/3WeUWWBmyk

@Meikeesther1 @Interuhsante @geewhiz_ephys @donofrio_sarah @jasonsgill I’m on it

@Awedness Targeted basket cells to genetically express GFP! But GFP was also expressed in areas w/ high white matter density (shown here)

@Interstellate_ @csaviochan Great idea, that would be a neat pattern for a scarf! And thanks @artologica!
