Just posted! https://t.co/i69XhsTf8t. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵

The rules governing neural circuit formation in mammalian central nervous systems are poorly understood. NMDA receptors are involved in synaptic plasticity mechanisms in mature neurons, but their...

Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on developing sensory cortex is now live @NatureComms We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT & neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction.

I am delighted to share our last preprint with you: https://t.co/POAOvzPR52 This study examines the impact of adolescent vaporised Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) exposure on ethanol self-administration in rats and the interactions with naltrexone efficacy.

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. @NatureNeuro: https://t.co/DP3cLkhMpe Cool morphing expts+more in final version 🧵👇
In an exciting new direction for the lab, we ( https://t.co/zeb6oen1oH) teamed up with Cindy Moss ( https://t.co/VaTGafBlNb) and Mel Wohlgemuth ( https://t.co/5F8parEN06) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)
