Can something emerge out of nothing in brain evolution? In the final chapter of their book Brains through time, entitled Synthesis, Strieder and Northcutt conclude that a proper cerebellum and a dorsal pallium (the evo-devo precursor of the mammalian neocortex) are novel divisions added

Excited to share our new findings on how chronic nicotine changes dopaminergic and cholinergic neural activity!

Sharing science with small Crowleys

Nice work from my long time collaborator and pal Andrew Holmes' lab, led by the amazing Olena Bukalo. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CPSC always has good tips on how to do this! bsky.app/profile/cpsc...

#ACNP continues to be an extremely rewarding meeting fill with great science & motivated colleagues doing work that matters. It’s also extra special to bring my kiddos - not only for the ☀️ but to show the work that I do. Thnx to everyone for being so kind to Crowley kids and see you in San Diego 👋

HUGE CONGRATS @seemiller.bsky.social on being named one of @thetransmitter.bsky.social’s 25 Rising Stars in Neuroscience Read more about the award, which recognizes “achievements of 25 neuroscientists who stand to shape the field for years to come” here: www.thetransmitter.org/early-career...

Congrats to Ella for her new paper! She asked a really interesting question about how the brain represents uncertainty during hidden state inference, and in a lovely crossover with theoretical work, she shows that in mice, acetylcholine dynamics play a crucial role. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What an exciting program for GRC Frontal Cortex in 2026! www.grc.org/frontal-cort...

Would you believe sweet little Alice is apparently a 💯 trash talker

We have a little bit less than 2 weeks left until we begin application review-consider joining us at Penn State! We are open to ANY areas of neuroscience, and I can genuinely say The PSU Biology Department is a fantastic place to work. please share broadly! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic...

Key contributions to lab meeting

🧠 + 🎃 + 👻 + 🔬 = 📽️ Behind-the-scenes of Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences Associate Director Patrick Drew & me filming some spooky season neuroscience videos for Penn State. We got to nerd out on frightening brain facts and old experiment. Can you tell my lab had fun decorating 😂

Excellent first day at @pennstateuniv.bsky.social for the Marker lectures hanging out with science celebrities @nicoleacrowley.bsky.social @drohsopretty.bsky.social @symbionticism.bsky.social plus several more folks I was too shy to ask for selfies

Homecoming, Eberly College of Science style #WeAre @pennstateuniv.bsky.social

Excited to share the Special Issue on "Stress and Addiction" in Addiction Neuroscience is now available. Huge kudos to guest editors Karl Schmidt and Anushree Karkhanis and all the authors who contributed. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Horror movies lists for Halloween season starting tomorrow. No one is more excited then @nicoleacrowley.bsky.social

WE ARE... hiring! Penn State Biology & the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences is recruiting a tenure track or tenured neurobiologist (Assistant or Associate Professor rank), and the committee is open to a broad scope of scientific questions. psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic...

I was going to write a whole post about all this incredible work with all these amazing scientists and organizations, but I’ll just leave @stellatecomms.bsky.social design sizzle reel here. It speaks for itself. youtu.be/x2O7DkpIoCA?...

OPEN INVITATION to the One Health Microbiome Symposium, May 13-14, 2026!! This is not your typical siloed topic conference. It unifies diverse research fields in microbiome science across Ag, Envtl, and Human Health. 1/n www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-one-h...

Probably my one and only time with a game view like this!

We are excited to announce our 2025 SPINE Fellows! We also appreciate everyone who submitted applications this year - it was great to read about everyone's awesome science! If you have not already, please register for SPINE by 9/24 and submit poster abstracts by 9/22 (extended) at spinephilly.org!

Really excited that our special collection generated from the last CPPC conference is in the Journal of Neuroscience. Check out this article for a preview of all the great work featured. w/ @erinlrich.bsky.social @narayananlab.bsky.social and Jeremy Seamans www.jneurosci.org/content/45/3...

HUGE CONGRATS to Victoria Nudell for receiving the NOA on her NIAAA F30 NRSA award. This is the first F30 fellowship for our lab!! Many thanks to her co-mentor Leon Coleman at UNC for his guidance and support of double docs, and to NIAAA to continue to support our work and vision.

kindergarten and 5th! work friends are in for a real treat as Alice has planned a week of matching dresses to celebrate 😂

Excited to announce that I’ll be the Director of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences Genomics Core Facility starting mid September 🧬🧪🧫 www.psu.edu/news/huck-in...

and here is the key, "The clear message to emerge here is that the reporting of both methods and results needs to be improved." does not equal a replication crisis or indicate that studies cannot be replicated. It is a problem. It just isn't that particular problem.

Still on vacay mode 😎

While everything is burning around us, a rare great day for Flanigan Lab! Thank you to BBRF for funding our NARSAD! Thank you to MUSC COBRE CNDD for funding our Pilot Proposal! Looking forward to doing some awesome science

Wiki sticks are the grossest of kids toys, no contest. Germ collector masquerading as a creative toy.

Hosting the Big10 neuroscience annual meeting at Penn State was an absolute blast, but also exhausting and I missed my family. Reunited yesterday 🥰

This is a dream project with an absolute dream team (pun 100% intended). Thanks to the W.M. Keck Foundation for seeing the vision. www.psu.edu/news/enginee...

It was really fun to chat with Penn State’s student newspaper The Daily Collegian about our new work! It’s unfortunately also very clear how much I rely on the PSU writers to edit out my conversational “likes” and “ummms” 😂 www.psucollegian.com/news/campus/...

peep the program book for next week's Big10 Neuroscience Annual Meeting here: www.huck.psu.edu/institutes-a... & follow along with #BIG10Neuro
