We study how synapses work at the molecular level because it is important for understanding how the brain works normally and why it does not work in diseases.

Super exciting work out this week from great colleagues ⁦⁦@CUAnschutz⁩ Matt Kennedy and Won Chan Oh, led by excellent ⁦@AMCPharmacology⁩ student Mason Kleinjan. Spines with inhibitory synapses, my favourite kind! cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Dually innervated dendritic spines develop in the absence of excitatory activity and resist...

Kleinjan et al. demonstrate that formation of hippocampal dually innervated spines (DiSs) occurs early in development and does not require excitatory input. NMDA receptor function and structural...

Our recent work is out today in @CellReports! Congrats to @JDgarc4, a very talented grad student who used super-res imaging to take a detailed look at inhibitory synapse disassembly. Thanks to our great collaborators @NeuronalInjury, @LabAcqua and the Kennedy lab @CUAnschutz.

cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… Thrilled to share part of my work from the @KSmithLab. Here we employ super resolution imaging to better understand inhibitory synapse disassembly throughout excitotoxic insults. Induction of excitotoxicity causes a rapid removal of synaptic GABA A
