This is the last week to register for iGluR2023 meeting. We have a great program of speakers on all topics covering glutamate receptors and excitatory synapses. ion-channelconferences.org/program Hope to see you in Chicago.
To those of you interested in glutamate receptors, their roles in synapses and disease please consider the iGluR2023 conference that will be in Chicago this summer. ion-channelconferences.org
Another beautiful study from Anu Goel and Carlos Portera-Cailliau describing disrupted activity of VIP INs in FRX. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The Dept of Neuroscience at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine has an open rank TT search for investigators interested in cellular, synaptic or circuit function. Please apply at the usual places or contact me for further information.
For anyone interested in the link between cortical interneuron dysfunction and autism please check out the review we wrote with my colleagues Iryna Ethell and Carlos Portera-Cailliau. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Carlos Portera-Cailliau, Iryna Ethell and I are organizing a virtual meeting on Interneuron Dysfunction in Autism. Nov 16 - 18. Details to follow.
Congratulations to Dr Carmen Lin on a successful thesis defense. Proud to have been your committee chair.
