Big news!! Our paper about astrocyte NMDA receptors is out in Nature Communications! rdcu.be/dzcE9
This team effort was spearheaded by @NoushinAhmadpo1 @MeherKantroo
Thanks to the Reviewers for suggesting "mechanism" experiments that took this story to the next level!
Did you know that astrocytes express NMDA receptors? In our latest work, we show how these receptors regulate astrocyte calcium events and optimize neuronal activity for sensory discrimination.
A brief summary of our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
