The Research Topic "Insights in synaptic neuroscience 2022" is finally finalized! With Karri Lamsa and Alfredo Kirkwood. Thanks to all who contributed! Frontiers - Neuroscience frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New Nature Communications paper from Alanna Watt's lab: Cerebellar cortex axons to the cerebellar nuclei are spatially structured so that some cerebellar nuclei neurons receive input from multiple zones, suggesting that they integrate across modalities! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted to share our new Nature paper: rdcu.be/dNlMQ This works shows a surprising off-target effect of glutamate on another cell death channel, acid sensing ion channels (ASICs). It turns out that glutamate directly binds to ASICs as a positive allosteric modulator

Exciting times for voltage imaging! In a new study published today, our collaborators Attila Losonczy and Adrian Negrean find that behavior regulates electrical signals in neuronal dendrites in a structured but dynamic way. nature.com/articles/s4146…

What?? Oryx and Crake? This is just weird.

Going to #sfn2024 ? Check out nano38 “mRNA regulation and translation in plasticity” on Tuesday chaired by my talented postdoc Hovy Wong @HovyWong.bsky.social !

Saturday PM at #sfn2024 , check out poster B37 “The involvement of neocortical astrocytes in timing-dependent long-term depression” by my talented PhD student Airi Watanabe!

Just wanted to point out that science is really picking up on some of the other social-media platforms.

I wanted to post a thread here about our new paper in The Innovation called “Principles of visual cortex excitatory microcircuit organization” but now it appears that science twitter has moved to another site. So maybe I’ll see you there instead?

Our most recent preprint: Presynaptically located NMDA receptors that signal non-ionotropically via JNK2 contribute to Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity, STDP. This explains the lack of frequency dependence in timing-dependent Long-Term Depression, tLTD.

In our most recent paper, now out in Nature Protocols, we provide a detailed recipe for how to do microsurgery of axons, one at a time, using a 2-photon Ti:Sa laser! Hope you find this approach inspiring for your research!

We are looking for an outstanding postdoc! We study cortical circuits, plasticity, and NMDARs with 2-photon excitation and quad-patch. We are in vibrant, multicultural Montreal—a city with exceptional quality of life. See ad for details. linkedin.com/jobs/view/4215…
