DSI is a form of synaptic plasticity mediated by endocannabinoids (eCBs). With @LinlinZFan, we demonstrated in vivo that place cell activity triggers eCB signals affecting GABAergic inputs; and that cannabinoid receptors modulate place cell tuning.

Happy to share our endocannabinoid sensor published on @NatureBiotech today. GRAB-eCB2.0, which is based on CB1R and cpEGFP, enables the detection of eCB in vivo with good sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution. #GRABSensors#endocannabinoid
BREAKING NEWS:
The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”
Here's a Christmas gift: Turkey says Sinovac's COVID vaccine is 91.25% effective. That's a prelim result based on <30 cases but it adds to an earlier announcement from Brazil of >50% efficacy.
This vaccine is an inactivated virus. That's interesting...

@ardemp Cool study! Also remind me of the recent nature plant paper looking at touch triggered calcium signals in the Venus flytrap https://t.co/jaLZKHVuqP
