We have discovered a subset of serotonin-glutamate neurons in the mouse median raphe that has the extraordinary ability to segregate serotonin vs glutamate to different axonal branches that innervate different regions 3/6
This axonal (but not soma 🤯) configuration is strikingly rearranged as a function of daytime lenght. Importantly, this novel form of neurotransmitter plasticity is necessary for timely synchronization of behavior to daylength changes. 4/6

Finally, I am on the job market! And these findings will be the foundation of my future research, looking at seasonal remodeling of neural circuits underlying flexible behaviors. Hope you enjoy the read! 6/6
It was such a pleasure to share my work and interact with the MPFI neuro community! Amazing people and super cool science going on. And special thanks to
@Zidan_Yang
for being a great host!
We were thrilled to welcome our second NeuroMEETS postdoc speaker yesterday! Thanks
@giac_madd
for sharing your exciting science and future plans with us & for the great interaction & discussions.
PhD students: you can still apply for our spring series!
To show what one reviewer has best described as “an important and carefully characterized violation of the long-standing rule that a neuron expresses the same transmitters in all of its terminals”. 2/6

I had a very similar issue. After lots of troubleshooting, ended up lowering the volume down to 15nl, injected with the Drummond Nanoject III (3 steps of 5nl each, 1 min apart, max injection speed), and waited 15 min before removing pipette. 70% success rate w/ these parameters.

@SenftRebecca
et al. show that a developmental lineage of serotonin neurons subdivides into two distinct r2-Pet1 neuronal subsystems: one involved with circadian rhythm and olfaction while the other affects memory and sensory processing.
@Gozzi_Ale
@lindsayschwarz
@MartinBohlen1
What really helped me in this regard was to go a bit deeper (200um) and then back up to create some sort of a pocket, as someone else said in this thread. After injection, I wait 7.5 min, raise the pipette 200um, wait another 7.5 min before fully retracting it. Hope this helps!
Times have never been tougher if you are a postdoc in search of a job… But we can help each other out! In collaboration with the Neuropostdoc Club

"Almost half of all US graduate and postdoctoral trainees in science and engineering hold temporary visas. However, almost all federal funding programmes are currently available only to US citizens and residents."
A thread
Yesterday, ICE announced that international students cannot remain in the US if they are taking online classes in the fall.
For my friends who are not in academia and may thus be unfamiliar with the context, I wanted to explain why this is such a horrific decision 1/
@LlopisMontero
Exactly. What about the constant anxiety that people with a temporary visa live with during these times? Science is great in this country because it’s international
@Sara_Sawyer_
@eLife
Thanks for sharing! What is the reason papers are not being sent out? Scientifically/methodologically unsound? Lack of reviewers w/ relevant expertise?
