Nothing says "motivation" like having 5 months left on a contract, zero institutional or PI support, and the crushing reality of the current grant climate. 🙃

The axon initial segment was known to receive GABAergic synaptic inputs. Yang et al. show that it can be excited directly via specialized ‘axonic spines’. These spines thus boost neuronal firing and a...
