Additional information
This is one of only four studies ever to report electrical recordings in vivo from the smallest cells in the body: cerebellar granule cells. We developed this method and in the paper we use it to reveal mechanisms by which alcohol and neurosteroids disrupt cerebellar activity and thus motor coordination. The research was presented in invited lectures at Yale (2008) and National University of Singapore (2012) and sparked a new collaboration between Imperial and Prof G Augustine at Duke-NUS Medical School.
