Endocannabinoids are powerful synaptic modulators, but there's so much we don't know about how they signal. Here we show that *postsynaptic synucleins* are required!
Shoutout @YueSunNeuro, @yulonglilab, @SudhofThomas, @BJunDing and the rest of the team!

Fresh from the oven! Our recent article on the European Journal of Neuroscience, @EJNeuroscience. We showed that alcohol exposure during a period similar to the last months of the gestation stunts the development of multisensory integration.

My main thesis project just got published!!
I recorded 1,000 claustrum neurons using whole cell patch clamp and found that the claustrum synaptically supports fMRI defined fronto-posterior cortical networks
