#JNeurosci: Pushkin, Kay, and @beherring @USC identify protein 4.1N as a critical regulator of glutamatergic synapse structure and function in the rat dentate gyrus and showed that perforant pathway synapses are governed by a unique molecular program. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Latest from the lab now out in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals. Protein 4.1N plays a cell type-specific role in hippocampal synaptic regulation. Immensely proud of our graduate student Anna Pushkin for carrying out this very impressive study. jneurosci.org/content/jneuro…

For years I've been told that the second #R01 is the toughest to get. Just received the NOA for R01 #2!! Huge thanks again to @NINDSfunding for their continued support and to my incredible lab members. Can't wait to see where this new direction takes us. #schizophrenia

Very grateful for this piece on our recent @NatureComms paper from @BBRFoundation!
New research suggests how a defective protein called SAP97 may be implicated in a mechanism that can greatly increases the risk of #schizophrenia and may help explain how certain schizophrenia symptoms are caused. ow.ly/U0L250ImPUN

Latest from the lab now out in @NatureComms. Here we find that schizophrenia-associated mutations in SAP97 dramatically alter glutamatergic neurotransmission in the dentate gyrus. Big congrats to Yuni Kay and the rest of the team. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

#JNeurosci: Tian, @beherring et al. show two proteins implicated in Autism Specturm Disorder/Intellectual Disability, Trio & Neuroligin 1, interact to promote glutamatergic synaptogenesis. When disrupted, this pathway may contribute to ASD/ID development. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
