Alfonsa et al. show that sleep-wake history can account for variations in chloride-dependent EGABAA, which bidirectionally regulate glutamatergic LTP by modulating membrane potential dynamics....

Take a punt on shunting inhibition - GABA signalling is primarily thought of as hyperpolarising. But in an awake brain, it is primarily shunt-y! Check out the brand new preprint by @RichBur 🧠🥳.
Thrilled to announce the release of our new preprint. Here we show how fast synaptic inhibition adapts to the level of cortical activity and demonstrate why this could be an important feature of how cortical networks process information.

Did you know that when you're sleepy, different parts of the brain, even individual neurons, have different levels of "tiredness"? @alfonsahannah shows how chloride changes in neurons across wake and sleep map on to this localised tiredness #neuroscience #sleep #AcademicTwitter.
Intraneuronal chloride levels encode tiredness in cortex

Saw a beloved local cafe take down their sign today, while deliveroo riders crowded around the chains. Made me think twice about my choices. Where you get your coffee or your Saturday night takeaway from matters. #supportlocalBusiness.
