Join our team on an international project with Anthony Holtmaat exploring synaptic plasticity and specificity in cortical and thalamocortical circuits.
Glad to see our new paper finally out! We show how the GPR158 receptor controls synapse maturation and function by silencing an intrinsic inhibitory mechanism.
