@niki_neuro @Justin_Anair @jones_g_parker Not me having fomo 🥺

I'm happy to share that our paper is out! We found that Kv4 channels shape action potential durations in the inferior olive after periods of hyperpolarization (e.g., inhibition or oscillations), thus allowing for graded outputs to the cerebellum

Dopamine dysfunction during adolescence can lead to development of various neuropsychiatric disorders.

@GLopez_924 reports on a recent study from @UofR that showed how dopamine neurostimulation can rescue adolescent cognitive deficits.

@neuronancy_, @MaccaferriLab (@Neuroscience_NU) and @MaxAnstoetz (@HHU_de) show how multiple layers of diversity govern the cell type specificity of GABAergic input received by mouse subicular pyramidal neurons!

Huge thanks to @MaccaferriLab and @MaxAnstoetz for all their guidance and help with this project 🥳

My first first-author publication is out in @JPhysiol !

Pyramidal cells in the subiculum are characterized by their distinct firing patterns. However, little is known about how inhibitory populations regulate their activity: 🧵👇 (1/5)

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"!

Richard Miles, a key scientist in the fields of hippocampal synaptic communication, networks and epilepsy, has died in Guadeloupe. A great mentor and scientist, he will be sorely missed. Our obituary of Richard in @JPhysiol, his favourite journal.

@GucanD Obsessed with your collection! I personally love Hille and Indira’s 👀 but admittedly haven’t read the other 3. Will definitely add to my collection!

[Nancy Castro Borjas @neuronancy_]

@MeganDuffyPhD I’m so truly sorry for your loss. I lost a grad school friend just a little over a year ago and I miss him every day. Sending a big hug and good thoughts your way 💞

Inflammation is a common feature of many diseases.

Murali Prakriya, PhD, discusses the evolution of this groundbreaking research in ion channels and his latest findings, which were published in @NatureComms, in this episode of our #BreakthroughsPodcast.
