Research Group Leader @MPFNeuro | Investigating neuronal energy use and synaptic plasticity #StayCurious
Florida, USA
Joined January 2019
📢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: .

Thank you Felipe (@coffee_lipe) at @preLights for highlighting our recent preprint! @ilikaghosh09 @RuolinFan @ojaseee @MPFNeuro.
Happy to share my latest @preLights post ! 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 🧐.

It was an absolute honor to have been part of the iconic Music and Mind series with none other than the opera legend (and LoTR fame) Renée Fleming 🎶 #MusicAndMind #ReneeFleming @MPFNeuro.
Earlier this month, MPFI Research Group Leader Dr. Vidhya Rangaraju (@RangarajuVidhya) joined other esteemed panelists at the @KravisCenter for “Renée Fleming: Music and the Mind,” an exciting exploration of brain health facilitated by none other than the opera legend

Ending 2024 with our lab paper in @CellCellPress . In this collaboration with @LorenaBenedet15, @JLS_Lab, and Ryan Lab, we (@RuolinFan) provided our expertise in ER calcium imaging (Fig. 7) to show that ER acts like superhighways in neurons, helping signals travel long distances.
I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: @CellCellPress
