What an interesting story, great to be a part of it with Anne and @tuthill.bsky.social , can't wait explore the adult NMJ further!

Sometimes failed experiments reveal gaps in how we are thinking about a problem, and digging into why an experiment didn't work can lead to discovery. This new preprint by Anne Sustar, in collaboration with Dion Dickman's lab, is one of those gratifying instances.🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to have this review out in @elsneuroscience about synapses with diverse properties...although a bit concerned having "diversity" in the title! Congrats to Kaikai! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Building and modifying diverse synaptic properties: Insights from Drosophila

Neuronal synapses are endowed with tremendous structural, functional, and molecular diversity, honed according to the physiological needs of the circu…

Excited to have this study out today (on my birthday and 'tines day no less!). Here we resolve input-specific mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity! Congrats Jerry, Kaikai, and team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Distinct input-specific mechanisms enable presynaptic homeostatic plasticity

Input-specific mechanisms that achieve the homeostatic control of synaptic function are resolved using a botulinum neurotoxin.
