As promised, and committing to the core open science values of our lab, here's the updated preprint. More data, more supplementary figures, stronger conclusions.

'Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclasses'

The paper is out in journal format at EJN! We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments, and how they shaped the final form of this story. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

As usual, it's open access! We're getting the data ready for sharing very soon 👀🧠🧪

Prof @grubblabneuro.bsky.social adds to the compelling case set by previous speakers:
Open Science = Better Science (for the community and for YOU!)

✅ Data sharing improves accessibility, reproducibility & collaboration
❌ But it’s often effortful & time-consuming

The master @grubblabneuro.bsky.social at the rig! Thanks so much @victoria-swi.bsky.social for showing us how to patch OSNs, and for unveiling my absolute lack of brain plasticity when it comes to using an ephys setup that is not mine 😆

Hey #NeuroSky, has anyone used a MAP2 antibody that successfully labels the soma on mouse brain slices? We've tried one but it stains only the dendrites. Any advice will be useful! 🧠🧪

Our paper is now in the shape of a reviewed preprint on eLife
@elife.bsky.social, with the reviewers' comments on full display. We plan to address these in the upcoming weeks/months, but so far I'm a big fan of this publishing model!
