🧠📢 June publications are in!

We’re thrilled to share “Cerebellar circuit computations for predictive motor control” from our very own Person Lab, authored by Abby Person and Katrina P. Nguyen! 📝✨

👉 Click the link in our bio to dive into this exciting research!

What’s more American than fireworks?

Your nervous system reacting to them! 🇺🇸🎇
Happy Independence Day from Physiology & Biophysics! 🧠💥

Dr. Abby Person’s latest review article, “Cerebellar Circuit Computations for Predictive Motor Control,” is now published!

It offers valuable insights into how the cerebellum enables prediction and precision in motor control.

☀️Fun Physiology Fact for the Summer Solstice!☀️
Your body’s circadian rhythm—your internal clock—is synced to daylight. On the longest day of the year, light-sensitive proteins in your eyes help regulate sleep, hormones & more. That’s biophysics in action! 🌞🧠⏰

📢 We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming release of *Neuroscience and Society* 🧠📘—edited by our very own Gideon Felson, PhD, and Sukumar Vijayaraghavan, PhD, from the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at CU Anschutz Medical Campus! 🎓

Mark your calendar for the release this September!

Congratulations! Way to go!

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈
In science, progress happens when many voices come to the table. At the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, we value the unique perspectives each person brings—because innovation grows stronger when shaped by a variety of lived experiences. 🧠💡✨

Today we’re celebrating Selin Schamiloglu (DiGregorio Lab) for receiving an NINDS F32 Grant for: “A cerebellar synaptic mechanism for temporally precise behaviors.”
A huge achievement—congrats, Selin! 🧠🎉

Correct Answer: controlling balance and coordination!

🧠 Pop Quiz Time!

Let’s see how well you know your brain 🧐

What is the main function of the cerebellum?

A. Regulating emotions
B. Controlling balance and coordination
C. Processing visual information
D. Producing speech

(Correct answer will be posted in replies in 24hrs 😉)

Honoring courage, sacrifice, and service.
Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day.

Night Horse Campbell Native Health Building auditorium in action 💪

We had an amazing time at the 25th Annual A.R. Martin Lectureship last week! 🎉 Hosted by Phys on May 14–15, the event featured a keynote by Dr. Marla Feller (@mfeller.bsky.social) and stellar talks from our own trainees—Ana Buteau, Jordan Hickman, and Sujin Jun. 👏

Get ready for this year’s A.R. Martin Lectureship!
Join us on Thursday, May 15 at 9:20AM as Dr. Marla Feller presents “Riding the Retinal Wave through Visual System Development.”

See you there!

Just published a blog post about how our brains pinpoint where sounds come from!
Turns out all mammals (yes, including you and your dog) use the same brain circuits to locate sounds. The secret? Check out the blog post at www.kluglab.org.
