Excited to share our paper @Nature led by @Aloysiuslowyt in the Betley Lab. With Laura Holsen, @roscoebradyjr, and @markhalko, we found disrupted activity in the cerebellum of Prader-Willi syndrome subjects, a disorder characterized by insatiable appetite. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In this collaboration with Toh Hean Ch'ng @NTU_LKCMedicine, we identified molecular signatures and signaling pathways that may explain why Alzheimer’s disease pathology is largely absent in the cerebellum compared to other brain regions until late stages. doi.org/10.1186/s12974-023-0…

Thank you @fpwr for highlighting our research and for your support!

Researchers have identified a new brain network that initiates satiety (fullness) and decreases food intake. They will examine how this pathway works in PWS mice, setting the stage to test interventions that can help to reduce food intake. fpwr.us/3jKtkNy
