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’🧵

I'm excited to share my new post on @focalplane_jcs
where I explore the powerful role of microscopy in neuroscience, and how we can use different imaging approaches to study synaptic connections in the brain.

Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on developing sensory cortex is now live @NatureComms
We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT & neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction.

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂
How do bats tell navigation from social calls?
Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives.
