Our paper on the critical role of Neuroligin 2 in social behaviors and OCD has been published at @SfNJournals early release. Thanks @WeiLuLab and team for their hard work and support! A critical role of Neuroligin 2 C-terminus in OCD and social behavior jneurosci.org/content/early/…

@PandeySaurabh45 @SfNJournals Great job Saurabh! Congrats!

@dion_synapse Congrats!

Excited to just receive the news that I was promoted to full Professor! So grateful to everyone that traveled this journey with me, especially my awesome lab (past and present), friends/colleagues, and family! Can't wait to celebrate in person (last promotion was during covid!)

Congrats, Guohao!!! Thank you, @ghwang85 and the team！@dcast421 @AngeloKeramidas @Martin17436419 @wenyan_han @MiriamERM and X-less Shixiao Peng, Qingjun Tian, Lijin Dong and Yan Li! 10.1016/j.cell.2024.09.006 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Now online! The TMEM132B-GABAA receptor complex controls alcohol actions in the brain dlvr.it/TDtjDF

Researchers discovered that chronic stress disrupts a brain pathway, increasing anxiety, but blocking a key protein in this pathway reversed anxiety symptoms in mice. dlvr.it/TBvDrD

@PandeySaurabh45 @bigthink nice!

Researchers discover an entirely new way to treat anxiety bigthink.com/neuropsych/new… Happy to share our work in the news. Thanks @WeiLuLab @bigthink

@igreger1 Nice work, congrats!

Here is a short summary of our new paper, describing how protons shape AMPA receptor conformation, kinetics and synaptic location: nature.com/articles/s4159…

@PandeySaurabh45 @PNASNews Excellent work, Saurabh! All your hard work has paid off! Congrats! @WeiLuLab

Thrilled to announce our publication in @PNASNews! We've uncovered a key stress-responsive signaling pathway manifesting anxiety and depression, paving the way for novel therapeutics development. Huge thanks to my amazing mentor @WeiLuLab and the team. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… ,

@dcast421 Congrats David! You did a great job in presenting your work and answering questions!

So excited that this study is finally out in @NeuroCellPress! @AliciaYChe @amandambuch @Ben_S_Huang @TedSchwartz13 authors.elsevier.com/a/1g9qX3BtfH1Z…

@SiddiquiLab @Martin17436419 @wenyan_han Thank you, Tabrez!

@WeiLuLab @Martin17436419 @wenyan_han Congratulations, Wei. Exciting work.

#PLOSBiology: Sleep and wake cycles dynamically modulate hippocampal inhibitory synaptic plasticity dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… In this work we @Martin17436419 @wenyan_han show a wake-specific enhancement of inhibitory synaptic plasticity at PV-synapses onto CA1 pyramidal neurons.

@Katrine92658231 We are working on compound screen targeting GABAAR/Shisa7 complex, so fingers crossed :)

@AngeloKeramidas @dcast421 @WeiLuLab So, could Shisa7 be a treatment target for GOF GABA-receptor related disorders? @AbsalomNathan

@dcast421 Congrats!

Thanks Angelo for your critical contributions!

Check out our new biorxiv paper led by @JJSherryWU and @ekfishy targeting the breadth of cortical somatostatin cells and showing their remarkably selective circuitry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@GordFishell @JJSherryWU @ekfishy Very interesting!

We have a postdoctoral position available at NINDS, NIH to study GABA-A receptors and GABAergic synapses. Please contact me if you are interested! Please retweet!
