Excited to share that our lab's first research paper is now published at @JPhysiol ! @wanyi_liu and Andrew Worthy found that the synchronicity of mechanoreceptor activation strongly influences signal propagation to cortex, especially within Aβ SAI-LTMRs. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

"… the next generation of robots designed to operate around people need to have accurate touch and proprioception in order to safely and successfully function," writes Aude G. Billard in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article. scim.ag/4lEs4Gb

🚨‼️Preprint Alert‼️🚨
Hot off the press! We report a dual role for TREM2 following PNI; both beneficial for axon regeneration and detrimental to motoneuron preservation. Very glad to see the bulk of my dissertation work finally out! @emoryalvarezlab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to start a new lab at Florida State University this summer! @PsychologyFSU @FSUNeuroscience
We’ll study how the brain enables generalization to support decision-making in novel situations.

This paper is now published in Cell Reports! Our study investigates how the sugar circuit diverges into different pathways that mediate different behaviors. The revision has a ton of new data and circuit simulations (thanks to the model by @Philip_Shiu!)

Just in time for #cshldros23, we have a new preprint on how sweet taste elicits different behavioral responses. Are different behaviors coordinately regulated? At what point does the sweet-sensing circuit diverge into different behavioral pathways?
