It’s a pleasure to share my recent work @FrancisLab4 looking at how neuromodulators can function through multiple GPCRs to control different neural circuits and promote adaptive behaviors. @eLife#Celegans

Pls. RT: My lab is looking for a Research Tech (https://t.co/I4FYLwyBel) to join us in beautiful Ann Arbor who is excited about science & will help us in our ongoing research efforts to study neuron-glia interactions/neurodegenerative disease. @UMKelloggEye@umichmedicine@UM_MNI
NoA day! Excited to receive @NIGMS R35 ESI MIRA award. Postdoc positions available in our lab @BCMB_UTK . Please contact if interested in using interdisciplinary approaches to study organelle formation and function in yeast and mammalian cells.
We have been very lucky to have two amazing summer interns Stephanie Ortiz-Espaillat a @UMassChanGSBS SURP student and Hailey McKillop a @AssumptionNeuro student! We are sad to see you both go but wish you all the best and know you will do great things!!
Kellie Alexander, a grad student in Professor Michael Francis’s lab, was awarded the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Student Research Mentor at the 2022 GSBS Student Academic Achievement and Leadership Awards. Congratulations Kellianne! #UMassChanGSBS

Ratna Chaturvedi from Emery Lab @UMassChan & her collaborators at OHSU Vollum Institute recently published their findings in Current Biology showing that the astrocytic GABA transporter GAT controls sleep by regulating GABA tone on wake-promoting circadian neurons in Drosophila.
Dear fellow Postdocs,
UMPA would like to invite you to a virtual science outreach event presented by Dr. Rocky Lai and Dr. Lisa Lojek!

How many calcium channels open when an action potential reaches a presynaptic terminal? This Week @SfNJournals, @sramac2 &al show that at a spinal cord synapse, the mean # is 4. But opening even 1 channel can allow vesicle fusion.

I am delighted to share work from my PhD days @thisisUIC recently published in Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals addressing presynaptic calcium requirements for neurotransmitter release
#JNeurosci: Ramachandran et al @thisisUIC demonstrate how neuron activation elicits calcium influx through just one calcium channel, closely associated to the synaptic vesicle and this is sufficient to trigger neurotransmitter release. https://t.co/FtFZV7VhNA

If your attending the @cshlmeetings Neural Circuits meeting check out two posters from our lab by @sramac2 (poster #117) and @KellianneAlexa1 (poster #41)!
Do tune in for the membrane fusion fission and traffic symposium #bps2022. Julia @LabVon will talk about my work on role of LLPS for sorting of insulin from the Golgi apparatus. I will present a poster on 22. Some new exciting in vivo data from last month.
