Cerebellum Controls Thirst, Not Just Motor Functions
A new study reveals the cerebellum's role in controlling thirst, beyond its known motor functions.
Researchers found that the hormone asprosin activates Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum, driving the urge to drink water.
This discovery could lead to new treatments for thirst disorders.
The study highlights the cerebellum's broader impact on essential survival functions.

Please Repost and share widely!
Our new study showing how local axonal protein synthesis boosts synaptic burst coding is just out in Neuron! For the abridged version, check out the amazingly talented @Hovy_Wong 's thread below! For all the details, here's the paper itself: https://t.co/vQh90E9eQY
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology is recruiting new faculty in all areas of science, with a special interest in junior (female) computational neuroscientists. Experience a new model of scientific freedom in an innovative university! Info at https://t.co/K32tl6X0j1
Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in mice is an overloaded circuit. It has been credited with a ton of different functions. Riichiro Hira has disentangled some of it and provides a new view into its architecture in this work: https://t.co/eOVjcTFtWn (1/6)
We are looking for a Postdoc to be one of the founding members of @dkneurolab in @dev_neuro at King's College London! Position is fully funded and will focus on how the cerebellum talks to the forebrain.
Please share and apply here by 20 September: https://t.co/FyPsUFObPZ
Thrilled to share my PhD work, out in @nature today. @fisekmehmet & I developed an all-optical approach to study long-range connectivity across brain areas. Upshot: visual feedback is spatially organized & nonlinearly integrated in V1 apical dendrites. https://t.co/VuMwuB8tes
