It’s a pleasure to share my recent work @FrancisLab4 looking at how neuromodulators can function through multiple GPCRs to control different neural circuits and promote adaptive behaviors. @eLife #Celegans

We have been very lucky to have two amazing summer interns Stephanie Ortiz-Espaillat a @UMassChanGSBS SURP student and Hailey McKillop a @AssumptionNeuro student! We are sad to see you both go but wish you all the best and know you will do great things!!

Grants 💰
Job applications 📝
Award nominations 🏅
They can all hinge on a great recommendation letter
But no one tells you how to write one
Writing a winning recommendation letter, a thread 🧵

@MichaelHoppa Thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Thank you @SfNJournals for featuring my work doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO… on understanding calcium regulation of neurotransmitter release.

How many calcium channels open when an action potential reaches a presynaptic terminal? This Week @SfNJournals, @sramac2 &al show that at a spinal cord synapse, the mean # is 4. But opening even 1 channel can allow vesicle fusion. bit.ly/TWIJ032322

I am delighted to share work from my PhD days @thisisUIC recently published in Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals addressing presynaptic calcium requirements for neurotransmitter release

#JNeurosci: Ramachandran et al @thisisUIC demonstrate how neuron activation elicits calcium influx through just one calcium channel, closely associated to the synaptic vesicle and this is sufficient to trigger neurotransmitter release. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
