Just posted! https://t.co/i69XhsTf8t. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵
(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact [email protected] for information.
I'm excited to share my new post on @focalplane_jcs
where I explore the powerful role of microscopy in neuroscience, and how we can use different imaging approaches to study synaptic connections in the brain.

Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on developing sensory cortex is now live @NatureComms
We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT & neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction.
In our Neurodevelopment session: Prof Jack Parent on using brain organoids to model developmental epilepsies, Prof Kevin Bender explores SCN2A’s role in epilepsy & autism, and Dr Federica Riccio reveals how HCN1 hyperactivity may drive #Dravet syndrome.
#EpilepsyWeek
Thrilled to share that our latest work on #DravetSyndrome is now out as a preprint! 🚀 This project, brilliantly led by @ClaraZourray
and co-supervised by Serena Barral, brought together an incredible team. A huge thanks to everyone involved!

This study examines the impact of adolescent vaporised Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) exposure on ethanol self-administration in rats and the interactions with naltrexone efficacy.
A collaborative study from the Molnár, Mann, Bannerman and Lak laboratories has uncovered a previously overlooked population of brain cells that could play a critical role in how we experience stress and anxiety - https://t.co/ji2xqYLkWB). Read more https://t.co/7i9NspCY3L
🧠 Can we defeat dementia?
This week, BNA President @TSpiresJones took the #TEDx stage to explore the powerful neuroscience that could help us do just that.

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂
How do bats tell navigation from social calls?
Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives.
