Just posted! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵

New piece by the amazing @minikerri in @nature on how studying ethological behaviours not only is fun, but may also help us understanding a little bit more of how the brain works with @trabranco ,@SWC_Neuro and many others!!

It was 12 years in the making, but the latest paper from @TheCousinLab is finally published in @CellReports!! Here we reveal a key role for phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIα (PI4KIIα) in activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE) - doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.202…
