Spinal cord injury in adult mice prompts neurotransmitter switching of excitatory interneurons to an inhibitory phenotype, promoting inhibition at synapses onto motor neurons; this doesn't occur in injured neonates, so they can recover motor function nature.com/articles/s4159…

'These findings suggest that presynaptic release of a neurotransmitter itself can signal the organization of relevant postsynaptic apparatus,' nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very glad to share a preview of my latest work! #neurotransmitterswitching #Spitzerlab swetha godavarthi Phencyclidine and methamphetamine cause cognitive deficits by changing pyramidal neuron transmitter identity in the prefrontal cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Marta Pratelli Ellen Unterwald and twitterless(?) Rita Valentino and Karen Ersche!

In a leadership development course, I was asked a very important and thoughtful question: ✨ "in what kind of environment do you thrive?" ✨ 🌱 Let's reflect together as a collective 🌱

Check out this very cool study where we characterized the effects of Gα signaling in cell cultures, DRG neurons, #Celegans, #Drosophila and #Zebrafish using an optogenetic approach. UTAS Medical Sciences

So excited to share my PhD work on retroactive interference out now in Cell Reports !! Interference is a form of adaptive forgetting that modulates memory expression as a result of engram competition. 🐁🐁 doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…
