Congratulations @LinlinZFan, a new @SloanFoundation research fellow! Fan uses innovative optical tools to investigate how connections change among neurons during memory formation. The fellowship will help her give the technology a big upgrade picower.mit.edu/news/sloan-fel… #Neuroscience
Excited to share the first paper from our lab! tinyurl.com/5n7fvwvh We engineered a new kind of time-gated calcium integrator, CaST, that can rapidly and non-invasively tag activated neurons in vivo with a small, biochemical handle. What makes this tool special and unique? 1/6
🚨We've now extended our early bird registration deadline until April 15th!! 🚨 Register and submit your abstracts before then for: - Early bird pricing - Travel award applications - Short talk submissions - Poster submissions
Excited to share our new work @ScienceMagazine-we demonstrated all-optical interrogation of inhibitory synaptic transmission and plasticity during behavior! Kudos to our wonderful collaborators @BarnaDudok, @SolteszLab, and of course, my amazing mentor and advisor @KarlDeisseroth
DSI is a form of synaptic plasticity mediated by endocannabinoids (eCBs). With @LinlinZFan, we demonstrated in vivo that place cell activity triggers eCB signals affecting GABAergic inputs; and that cannabinoid receptors modulate place cell tuning. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
