The Giant Synapse Symposium - a free, one-day event focused on synaptic function - will place on Nov. 14th, the day before the start of SFN: shorturl.at/AwLqE. Please consider attending or spreading the word.

🚨 Neuro postdocs & grad students: Have a story to tell? Want to practice a talk before a conference or interview? Join our new seminar series on the Isthmus! All are welcome (from around the 🌎). Submit by Aug 20. Share your story (and this ad)! (Ping me for Qs) forms.gle/zpSTGWczxjqJ...

Excited about our new work led by @silasabuck.bsky.social & #SamMabry where we identified a new mechanism for both sex and regional differences in #dopamine neuron #mitochondria function in #aging and a #Parkinsons model in a #Drosophila model. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

First paper from the lab! We investigated the composition of synaptic vesicles that store fast glutamate or modulatory monoamines. Found distinct composition that affects the regulation of fusion.

Synaptic vesicle-omics in mice captures signatures of aging & synucleinopathy; Synaptic changes in mice lacking α-synuclein suggest that loss of α-synuclein function contributes to synaptic dysfunction www.nature.com/articles/s41...
