Beyond excited to share that this paper is out! mGluR5 is transiently confined in perisynaptic nanodomains to shape synaptic function. Full article: https://t.co/dSAF2PmX7y @NatureComms @Westra_Manon @hdmacgillavry A thread🧵

Why is human brain development, and particularly neuron morphogenesis, so slow and how is this linked to evolution? https://t.co/IcIDmTBXTa
We developed mouse brain organoid methods capturing differences to human and used these to address this. https://t.co/0d14NAugDf

Thrilled to see this work published! Led by the amazing @Shorton_Neuro, we show a tight correlation in E and I along dendrites during circuit wiring. Check it out! @GuiVSNeves @vimast86 @rj_neuro @wellcometrust @BBSRC @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN

What a joy co-chairing the session on human neuronal development and networks at #dnm24 with @NickyScheefhals. Big thanks to the brilliant speakers @CcileCharrier, @LaraJan34624220 and Katrin Linda — it was fantastic hearing about all the thrilling research!

[Feline Lindhout @feline_lindhout]

Excited to share our latest review on human brain evolution, development and tempo 🧠⏳. Huge thanks to Madeline Lancaster @mad_lancaster, Fenna Krienen @fennamk, and Katherine Pollard for writing this together - it was a blast working with you all! https://t.co/bkWuspe36P

@hdmacgillavry @UUBeta Wauw, super gefeliciteerd!!🍾 Onwijs verdiend en te gek onderzoek natuurlijk🫶🏻

[Sarah R Metzbower @SarahMetzbower]

Next paper in the Blanpied lab paper parade! Here I, alongside @CajalMeMaybe, @Golgi_Willikers, and Twitterless Mike Anderson, describe the nanoscale organization of synaptic scaffolding protein SAP102 with respect to PSD-95.

[Amélie Fréal @FreAmeLie]

And it is out! 🥳🥳We spent a few years addressing the mechanisms of rapid AIS plasticity. We wanted to understand how sodium channels (Nav) are re-organized during AIS remodeling. https://t.co/S7YCDsZxHW

[Nicky Scheefhals @NickyScheefhals]

@FreAmeLie Beautiful work, congratulations!!

@ShanWan77834876 @STARProtocols @naelnadif @SchubiNeuro Congrats!:)

[Shan Wang @ShanWan77834876]

Check out our new paper @STARProtocols. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol to generate hiPSC-derived Glutamatergic/GABAergic (E/I) neuronal networks in vitro. Originally
developed by my colleague @brittmossink, in the lab of @naelnadif, @SchubiNeuro

Delighted to share our review about 'Plasticity of postsynaptic nanostructure' @hdmacgillavry! We summarize literature on the functional nano-organization of synapses, and decipher what mechanisms could drive postsynaptic reorganization during plasticity https://t.co/kN5MXLmc55

[Nicky Scheefhals @NickyScheefhals]

@WJDroogers @hdmacgillavry Nice! Congratulations!
