This was a huge team effort including @Moreno_G_Estefa@leyreuriguen@MarotoIrene and many other twitterless people. Special congratulations to my fellow colleague Alba Hermoso, who shares the first authorship
By state-of-the-art electrophysiology experiments, we showed that the interaction impairs CB1R-mediated suppression of mossy cell to granule cell transmission, leading to the inhibition of cannabinoid mediated anti-convulsant activity in mice! 4/4
I´m thrilled to share our work published in @NatureComms https://t.co/A3Wb5jbU4w in which we identify GAP43 as a synapse type-specific interacting partner of cannabinoid CB1 receptor that inhibits its function and anticonvulsant properties! Check below for a short summary...1/4
Within the brain, we narrowed down the CB1R-GAP43 interaction to one specific excitatory synapse of the hippocampal dentate gyrus: the mossy cell to granule cell synapse, involved in hyperexcitability-driven seizures. 3/4
Check out our latest work in @NatureComms https://t.co/d9DZtWaIWN Amazing project led by @MarotoIrene unveling an unprecedented CB1R-GAP43 complex that fine-tunes hippocampal CB1R neuromodulation . From the cannabinoid signalling lab at @BBM_UCM @BiologiaUcm @unicomplutense
