Although the liver remains the primary organ for alcohol metabolism, the brain’s cerebellum plays a bigger role in this process than once believed, according to a study in mice published on March 22 ...

Cerebellar granule cells are the most abundant cell type in the mouse brain. These cells contain cilia while they are developing, which helps the cells detect a protein that controls proliferation ...

Previously, this team demonstrated that acute inflammation in the cerebellum caused by a bacterial infection induces neural plasticity, which in turn may lead to hyper-excitability in the brain ...

The lab uses sophisticated mouse genetics approaches to probe how cell-cell communication and cell intrinsic genetic programs determine the way by which normal cerebellar circuitry is established and ...
