How does dopamine impact memory formation? 🧠 In my new Insight for @eLife, I discuss recent research revealing a distinct signaling pathway through which dopamine triggers protein synthesis, enabling the formation of long-term memories. Read more: 👇https://t.co/rWPHr0Rdq8"

Thank you, @Spectrum for featuring our latest work!👇

[Spectrum (Autism Research News) @Spectrum]

The Broad Institute took a look back at the first year of NeuroDev. That and more highlights from social media in this week's Community Newsletter.

@_sameeraryal @CellReports @KlannLab @CarterAG @NicTritsch @BagniLab Thanks a lot, @_sameeraryal for your crucial contribution to the success of this work!

Finally, we showed that RGS4 translation is significantly reduced in dSPNs and stimulating M4R that is upstream of RGS4, reverses repetitive behaviors in FXS mice 6/6

[Francesco Longo @fran_longo17]

TRAP-seq revealed altered binding of >120 mRNAs to ribosomes in dSPNs of FXS mice: elevation in mRNAs associated with ribosome and mitochondria, and reduction of those associated with cell adhesion, the synapse, and voltage-gated calcium channels 5/6
