Protein synthesis is key to memory but not transmission(?). Yet nature is full of surprises! We found & resolved how axonal translation is needed for burst transmission, which is crucial in memory formation. @NeuroCellPress 👇@alanna_j_watt @pj_sjostrom

Will miss my postdoc lab and awesome lab mates loads, Montreal & @mcgillu will always have a special place in my heart! Also sad to be leaving the amazing @CAN_ACN neuroscience community, but will hopefully be welcomed back to attend the fun CAN meetings😃

@Ella_Maru @The_InnovationJ @pj_sjostrom @p_atcat @Connieguocg Thanks Ella! Great question and yes, these are some of topics that my colleagues in @pj_sjostrom 's lab have been working on. Jesper has a long-term goal on contributing to mapping out the plasticitome, and those of interneurons are particularly interesting and largely unknown!
