Congratulations to Nancy and Max on their new paper "Multiple layers of diversity govern the cell type-specificity of GABAergic input received by mouse subicular pyramidal neurons"!

Insightful commentary by @LMPrida and @candelabellot on two studies, including our latest work on Glutamate released by #CajalRetzius cells in hippocampal circuits.

The wonderful people of the Maccaferri lab outside the building on a sunny day in Chicago. thank you for everything you do! @neuronancy_ @MaxAnstoetz

We are hoping to hire a new postdoc. We do ex vivo/in vivo electrophysiology, 2P/confocal/electron microscopy, and behavior in WT, PD, and HD mice. Experience or interest in electrophysiology required. Please retweet and email [email protected] if interested. Thanks.

#PLOSBiology: Does brain activity cause consciousness? A thought experiment https://t.co/N2qIrUrp9L As a neurophysiologist I feel like I’m obliged to say ‘yes’. So why I am so conflicted by this thought experiment? @jaaanaru @LibedinskyLab @AnnaSchapiro

[Maccaferri Lab @MaccaferriLab]

@MaxNigro_Neuro Very true! :-)

[Maccaferri Lab @MaccaferriLab]

After 35 years of patching, looking at the real-time spontaneous activity of a living neuron is still fun and exciting!

[Maccaferri Lab @MaccaferriLab]

@omarahmedlab Well done and well deserved, congratulations!

[Maccaferri Lab @MaccaferriLab]

First nucleated patch in the lab! Great job, Nancy! @neuronancy_ @NuinComm #patchclamp #neuroscience

Brings back memories of a classic science fiction movie: "Fantastic voyage" (1966) and of its remake "Innerspace" (1987)! #innerspace #isaacasimov
Cast: Cajal-Retzius cells (green), vGluT2 (red), nuclei (blue)
Director: @MaxAnstoetz
Notice the vGluT2-expressing terminals of CRs

Happiness is a double recording! @neuronancy_ @NuinComm #patchclamp #neuroscience

Are hippocampal Cajal-Retzius cells important? Read what happens when you silence their synaptic output.
Congratulations Max and Sun Kyong! @MaxAnstoetz

Glutamate released by Cajal-Retzius cells impacts specific hippocampal circuits and behaviors https://t.co/SWrmkwabn0
