The Giant Synapse Symposium - a free, one-day event focused on synaptic function - will place on Nov. 14th, the day before the start of SFN: shorturl.at/AwLqE. Please consider attending or spreading the word.

🚨 Neuro postdocs & grad students: Have a story to tell? Want to practice a talk before a conference or interview? Join our new seminar series on the Isthmus! All are welcome (from around the 🌎). Submit by Aug 20. Share your story (and this ad)!

dVGLUT Is a Mediator of Sex Differences in Dopamine Neuron Mitochondrial Function Across Aging and in a Parkinson's Disease Model We examined sex and regional differences in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their implications for dopamine (DA) neuron resilience using the Drosophila model. We found: (1)...

Excited about our new work led by @silasabuck.bsky.social & #SamMabry where we identified a new mechanism for both sex and regional differences in #dopamine neuron #mitochondria function in #aging and a #Parkinsons model in a #Drosophila model.

First paper from the lab! We investigated the composition of synaptic vesicles that store fast glutamate or modulatory monoamines. Found distinct composition that affects the regulation of fusion.

Synaptic vesicle-omics in mice captures signatures of aging & synucleinopathy; Synaptic changes in mice lacking α-synuclein suggest that loss of α-synuclein function contributes to synaptic dysfunction
