Braintime Lab @BraintimeLab
We study how circadian time is processed in the brain. We do biology, some electronics, a bit of mathematics, and just a tint of philosophy. braintime.tmu.edu.tw Taipei City, Taiwan Joined February 2017-

The earliest circadian clock in the brain is not the SCN. It is the choroid plexus, ticking by ~E12 with intriguing SNIC-like dynamics. Work by Helene Vitet and Vuong Truong @VuongTruong9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Circadian biologists from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan got together at #KSBNS2025 — Jihwan Myung, Eun Young Kim, Kazuhiro Yagita, and ShihKuo Chen!
When circadian periods are skewed, the relationship between period variance and coupling strength becomes 2D, creating a geometry of synchronization and macroscopic period. Circadian rhythms across aging can be viewed as movement along this geometry. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Braintime Lab’s Vuong and Sun Lab’s Mariana took a joyful moment to celebrate their upcoming marriage💍 with a one-of-a-kind photo shoot! #BraintimeLab #SunLab #LoveInTheLab #CircadianRhythms #BuryingBeetles #ScienceAndStory
Our super-postdoc Hélène is back from GRS/GRC after her wonderful talk and poster presentation! We still need to absorb what she learned there—but we are so proud of her. #GRC2025 #HeleneVitet
The slow ovarian clock (~28 days) is regulated by the brain’s circadian clock (~1 day). Mood stabilizers (e.g. lithium) that affect circadian rhythms may also influence the reproductive cycle. chronobiologyinmedicine.org/journal/view.p…
The Braintime Lab is looking for a postdoc to join an exploratory project on circadian development and neuroscience. Rodent experiments + chance to learn computational modeling. Competitive salary & benefits. Find out more at braintime.tmu.edu.tw
Our amazing master's student Veronica has officially graduated! Huge congratulations from all of us at Braintime Lab!
Excited to announce Centaur -- the first foundation model of human cognition. Centaur can predict and simulate human behavior in any experiment expressible in natural language. You can readily download the model from @huggingface and test it yourself: huggingface.co/marcelbinz/Lla…
"tumor clocks tick in a different timezone" (!)
Circumventricular organs lining the brain's ventricles have circadian clocks. But why? Reviews and speculations with Rae Silver & Yifan Yao. dx.doi.org/10.1111/ejn.70…
Circadian clocks in the body likely 'entrain' themselves rather than hierarchically reset. Given internal cellular feedback, omics (Bharath @TimelyScientist) may accurately predict their phases via connectomics, something single-gene reporters cannot. doi.org/10.1016/j.slee…
Classroom discussions have become a paper: Are LLMs capable of epistemic knowledge? mdpi.com/2673-9585/5/1/3
Amalia’s extensive review about the light and circadian clock effects on mood is just out, after long years of excitements, turmoils, COVID, and all! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
we finally have this: biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…
In collaboration with Le Duy Cuong (Joey) and Yen-Hua Huang’s lab, we found a potential connection between primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and circadian rhythm dysfunction in a mouse model. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
You can use an ordinary cooled CCD camera to visualize bioluminescence expressions across tissue. mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/1…
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
International Chronobiology Summer School 2024 will be in Japan! Aug 5-8, Nagoya University Great opportunity for trainees to learn and connect Apply before April 30 Also join Sapporo Symposium (Aug 9-10), Asian Forum on Chronobiology (Aug 11-12)bit.ly/4cCKxzg
Lab Meeting Log, May 24th: We discovered that all the lab members are engineers and physicists pretending to be biologists.
