Unlocking the mysteries of neuronal communication! 💡Our new research sheds light on reserve synaptic vesicle dynamics, spotlighting Synapsin 2a’s crucial role. #NeuroScience #SynapticVesicles #BrainResearch Fred Meunier 🌟🔬Read more: rdcu.be/dA1ux
Interesting: Leonardo Parra-Rivas Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD & colleagues present a role for α-synuclein Ser129P at synapses, where activity-induced Ser129P triggers the interaction of α-syn with synaptic proteins leading to attenuation of neurotransmitter release

2023's final issue is out! cell.com/neuron/current
Cover story is from Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD's lab revealing an unexpected physiologic role for α-synuclein phosphorylation in clustering synaptic vesicles and restricting neurotransmitter release. Read it here cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by Leonardo Parra-Rivas and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by Emma VIDAL that says it all.
🇨🇱 Mi amigo y 2023 Launch Awardee Leonardo Parra-Rivas is a very busy man, as *everyone* wants to hear about his work 'Serine-129 phosphorylation of a-synuclein is an activity-dependent trigger for physiologic protein-protein interactions and synaptic function'.

Alpha-synuclein needs Synapsin-E domain (48 amino-acids) to do its day job - co-first authors Alexandra (Sasha) Stavsky & Leonardo Parra-Rivas
👏 So please congratulate Launch Awardee leonardo parra 🇨🇱, who will study the physiological roles of Serine-129 phosphorylation of a-synuclein UC San Diego Health Sciences. Felicitaciones!!! (2/2)

Hanging out on the balcony with lab peeps. Rohan Sharma and Leonardo Parra-Rivas gave great talks. Big Brent (red T) still to come at 1:45 today. #SfN2022
The future of #Alzheimer ’s research is bright! ☀️ Thank you to the enthusiastic early-career scientists & world-class faculty who joined us for this year’s #AlzFastTrack !
