When I started digging into this dataset in 2019 I realized there was easily a decade worth of electrophysiology experiments hidden within. Props to the Evan Macosko lab, and my Regehr lab colleagues @StephRudolphLab + Tomas Osorno for this amazing work!! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Here's a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2022, on capitalism, imperialism, degrowth and decolonization. It's all open-access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

The Western ruling class considers China's technological development to be a threat because it undermines a core tenet of the imperial arrangement. Here's how it works. The states and firms of the imperial core actively seek to prevent sovereign technological development in

Using #SuperResolutionMicroscopy, Liu et al. showed that #dopamine secretion is mediated by sparse, mechanistically specialized active zone-like release sites. This architecture supports spatially & temporally precise coding for dopamine. bit.ly/2Eec0du
