Excited to share with you our recent review in TINs Trends in Neurosciences by @amahan0805 and Ryan Shepard! Regulation of GABAARs by Transmembrane Accessory Proteins cell.com/trends/neurosc…

Congrats, Kunwei!

Great work , Kunwei Kunwei Wu and Ryan Ryan Shepard !

Thrilled to share our new paper published with Springer Nature in molecularpsychiatry , where we demonstrate the contribution of a specific subunit of GABAARs in syndromic intellectual disability. rdcu.be/cG34E

Congrats! In this study we have generated a knockin mouse line and shown a critical role of S405 of Shisa7, a GABAA receptor auxiliary subunit, in inhibitory transmission and neurodevelopmental behaviors

My lab @NINDS (research.ninds.nih.gov/gu-lab) is looking for highly motivated postdocs interested in the neural basis of spatial cognition! Please spread the word and recommend good candidates. Thank you! :)

We have a postdoctoral position available at NINDS, NIH to study GABA-A receptors and GABAergic synapses. Please contact me if you are interested! Please retweet!

Check out our new biorxiv paper led by Sherry Wu and Emily Fishman targeting the breadth of cortical somatostatin cells and showing their remarkably selective circuitry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks Angelo for your critical contributions!

#PLOSBiology: Sleep and wake cycles dynamically modulate hippocampal inhibitory synaptic plasticity dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… In this work we Kunwei Wu Wenyan Han show a wake-specific enhancement of inhibitory synaptic plasticity at PV-synapses onto CA1 pyramidal neurons.

So excited that this study is finally out in Neuron! Alicia Che 车玥 Amanda M. Buch, PhD Ben S. Huang Theodore Schwartz MD authors.elsevier.com/a/1g9qX3BtfH1Z…

Thrilled to announce our publication in PNASNews! We've uncovered a key stress-responsive signaling pathway manifesting anxiety and depression, paving the way for novel therapeutics development. Huge thanks to my amazing mentor Wei Lu and the team. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… ,

Researchers discovered that chronic stress disrupts a brain pathway, increasing anxiety, but blocking a key protein in this pathway reversed anxiety symptoms in mice. dlvr.it/TBvDrD
