Histamine originating from the BNST modulates corticostriatal synaptic transmission during early postnatal development
The neuromodulator histamine regulates key processes in many circuits of the adult and developing brain, including striatum. However, striatal innervation by histaminergic afferents is very sparse mak...

Explored whether mast cells could provide a source of histamine in the developing basal ganglia but found them by the hippocampus instead! Here preliminary data would suggest they could impact synapses independently of histamine.

Great to see this out and with a small contribution from our lab
I'm happy to share that our paper describing our novel TMEM106B overexpression mouse model is now out in Molecular Neurodegeneration 🧠📝.
It’s been a project with highs and lows, and seeing it published is incredibly rewarding. Thanks to everyone who was part of the journey 🙌.
