Do you like following rules… but also breaking them? So does your dopaminergic synapse! 😎🧠 Our new Trends in Neurosciences review dives into the non-classical side of dopamine signaling, notably the tools reshaping how we see it (CLEM, cryo-CLEM, serial EM + more).

Did you know that Bioimage Archive has a specific database for people to share AI-ready imaging datasets? I did not until
@yanlanmao.bsky.social
told me! Please deposit! If people regularly submitted, it would have a huge collective impact on bioimage analysis.

Very happy to share our last preprint where we investigated the vesicular organization of dopamine hub synapses with cryo-CLEM. It is a brain structure that emerges as an important regulator of striatal activity. Many thanks to David Perrais, Etienne Herzog and the lab of

"DA vesicles are bigger and less round" in synaptosomes, beautiful cryoEM images! We too showed this in iPSC-derived DA neurons, of course using just regular EM 😃 See link here:
