Touhid and Sergio at The 2020 Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in San Diego presenting their work on: A computational model of pH dynamics within the cleft of conventional neuronal synapses and Phosphagens as energetic moderators at chemical synapses: A computational approach.

New work from Macleod Lab @RendenLab finds that nerve activity generates an alkaline shift in pH within synapses, encouraging reassessment of the scope of activity-dependent pH influences on neurotransmission & short-term synaptic plasticity. #JNeurosci: bit.ly/2va5WQP

FAU Jupiter Research Finds Neuronal Glutamatergic Synaptic Clefts Alkalinize Rather Than Acidify during Neurotransmission #FAU #FAUJupiter Wilkes Honors College FAU FAU Charles E. Schmidt College of Science ➡️ bit.ly/2v6cbow

Our Wang lab is hiring a highly motivated & independent research tech to help with our research into learning and episodic memory. Excellent opportunity to get hands-on research experience before grad school. mpfi.org/institute/care…

.Wilkes Honors College FAU Alumni Roberto Hernandez and Rubens Tavora, are celebrating successful applications to highly selective doctoral graduate programs. Both are currently conducting neurophysiological research in the Macleod laboratory on FAU's Jupiter campus. Congrats!

Earlier this month we closed to do our part to flatten the curve & protect our employees. Because of this, we were able to donate our N95 masks, gloves, & hand sanitizer to PBC Fire Rescue & Jupiter Medical Center. Thank you to everyone working tirelessly to keep us safe.

Congratulations to Dr. Fewkes, Dr. Hoim, and Dr. Macleod on being promoted to Full Professor! #WilkesProud #FAUJupiter #FAU

Les presentamos el nuevo website droso4LatinAmerica con material para divulgación y educación utilizando a #Drosophila, traducciones del fantástico material creado por @Poppi62 que hicimos con colegas de México y Chile. Retwiteen porfi! #advocacy droso4latam.wordpress.com

Looking forward to presenting a talk tomorrow to the whole world! I’ll explain how flies (& neurons) see motion, then I’ll discuss (some of) what their brains do with this motion info. I’ll go from computations to biophysics to behavior. Plenty of cool movies—hope it all works🤞

We are always looking for talented students and Postdocs. Please write to me if you are interested and spread the news.

How pH modulates neurotransmission is unclear, but now we know that the synaptic cleft alkalinizes during transmission! Here we highlight the cool techniques used to measure pH in fly and mouse synapses and possible implications SfN Journals #JNeurosci: jneurosci.org/content/40/33/…

Acidification of synaptic vesicles is needed for transmitter uptake so vesicle release acidifies the cleft at some synapses. But a JN Journal Club by Peter Niesman & Vale Silva Moeller describes work by Macleod Lab & @RendenLab showing alkinization at larval NMJ bit.ly/JNJC081220VS
