Laboratory at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease studying synapse development and neural connectivity. Team-managed account.
Leuven, Belgium
Joined August 2020
Glad to see our new paper finally out! We show how the GPR158 receptor controls synapse maturation and function by silencing an intrinsic inhibitory mechanism. Work from Ben Verpoort and colleagues, with special thanks to our collaborators.
