Thank you Felipe (@coffee_lipe) at @preLights for highlighting our recent preprint! @ilikaghosh09 @RuolinFan @ojaseee @MPFNeuro
Happy to share my latest @preLights post ! https://t.co/lttyUGdNTb highlighting @RangarajuVidhya 's lab work: a spine-mitochondrial ATP ratiometric reporter shows that synaptic activity triggers a rapid, sustained ATP boost in dendritic spines, fueled by local mitochondria 🧐

Excited to share our latest preprint! Grateful to @RangarajuVidhya for the advanced training that made it possible for me to lead this project. We show how neurons power up precisely where and when they need energy to form new memories—in real time! #Neuroscience #BrainEnergy
📢New preprint alert! We watch ATP, the energy currency, in tiny compartments of brain synapses to show that synapses talk to their local mitochondria to produce energy right when needed during plasticity: https://t.co/VJqVEcCVqS
