Looking for a weekend read? 🌞 📚 In this #review, scientists from the Lab of Synapse Biology provide an overview of the intracellular 🚦 signaling pathways that are engaged by #synaptic cell adhesion molecules. bit.ly/3w8W2OU

New preprint out from our lab! We uncover a novel mechanism that regulates synaptic organelle content of dendritic spines, important for the proper maturation of cortical connectivity. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#ScienceDay 2024 was a blast! 🚀 Yesterday VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research employees came together for our annual day of talks, networking and activities to spark new research ideas and foster our vibrant community spirit ✨

Just posted! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵

🗞️ New paper driven by reMYND with involvement from labs at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research published in Science Magazine discovers a pharmacological intervention that restores calcium homeostasis and acts as a protective mechanism in models of #Alzheimers.

Thrilled to lead a laboratory at IBDM 🇫🇷. I will study the evolution of human cerebellar neurons and circuits🧠. The project is awarded by #ATIPAvenir #ANRJCJC grants & CNRS 🌍 (tenure). 👋Students and laboratories interested in human brain evo-devo: contact me! This is

💡 Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative has awarded grants to Lab of Synapse Biology and @VanderhaeghenP2, researchers at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research, to facilitate research into the neurobiological underpinnings of #Autism Spectrum Disorder.

⏰ Are you conducting research in #neuroscience and want to present your findings to the leading scientists at #BrainMosaic24? Submit your abstract before the 8 August deadline. Nature Neuroscience will offer a poster prize 🏆! Submit your abstract here: vibbio.tech/4d5SrkA

📢Big news, please RT🎉 I will be starting as a TT Assistant Professor (W2) of Neuroscience at Universität München in April 2025! The Schroeder lab will study how the brain 🧠 generates internal states, and then uses this information to adapt behavior in dynamic environments. 👇A🧵

For our latest Colleague with a Story we chat with Artemis Koumoundourou, postdoctoral researcher in the Lab of Synapse Biology and Executive Director at TReND in Africa, a non-profit organization supporting scientific capacity-building across Africa 🚀↘️ blog.vib.be/building-scien…

Working with TReND in Africa has been extremely gratifying! If you wanna hear more about my recent project TReND-CaMinA or learn how you can get involved, pm me😉 Shout out to Lab of Synapse Biology and VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research for their support🤗

Today Dr. Joris de Wit Lab of Synapse Biology from VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research offered us a fantastic #SeminarsIN about the synapse biology in the ‘omics age’. Great talk, thank you 👏

We continue the #BrainMosaic24 Poster Pitches🎬 with Dan Dascenco Dan Dascenco of Lab of Synapse Biology / VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research. He shows that CRISPR-tagged synaptic proteins reveal vital factors in synapse development and connectivity. ▶️Watch his pitch to find out more.

🧠 The team of Lab of Synapse Biology and colleagues discovered how 'synaptic signatures' in specific brain cells (in a mouse model) could contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research FWO KU Leuven Read here 👉 vibbio.tech/3BWCxf8

Thrilled to receive a MSCA Fellowship for my research Lab of Synapse Biology VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research !🧠🔬 I will explore how cell surface proteins shape thalamocortical circuits in somatosensory processing. Congrats to my fellow Marie Curie fellows VIB ! #SynapseResearch #Neuroscience

Find us on bluesky: bsky.app/profile/synaps…

Postdoc opportunity in the heart of Europe! Check out the flyer below. Join our team on an international project with Anthony Holtmaat @teuntoonenaug exploring synaptic plasticity and specificity in cortical and thalamocortical circuits.

Great research, excellent beer and the coolest people ever (if I say so myself 😉) Join us!!

Glad to see our new paper finally out! We show how the GPR158 receptor controls synapse maturation and function by silencing an intrinsic inhibitory mechanism. authors.elsevier.com/a/1l7HS5Sx5g-Z… Work from Ben Verpoort and colleagues, with special thanks to our collaborators.
