BBC Inside Science - The science behind autism - BBC Sounds What do we know about the causes of autism?

What do we know about the causes of #autism? @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Professor Laura Andreae speaks with BBC Radio 4's Inside Science about the genetic factors behind autism, particularly around twin studies.

Delighted to see this out! A great story by @bcompans and @vimast86 with the help of @Lenherr_C. Nanoscale plasticity of axo-axonic synapses at the AIS. Enjoy!

Happy to see my MSCA project with @jbneuro.bsky.social lab available on @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social

We Increased network activity in vivo and used dSTORM to look at the nanoscale organization of inhibitory synapses formed onto the AIS and onto tufts dendrites of L2/3 S1 Cortex!

In vivo modulation of network activity drives the nanoscale reorganisation of axo-axonic synapses at the axon initial segment Chemical synapses control their strength through the nanoscale clustering of postsynaptic receptors into sub-synaptic domains (SSDs). Despite their importance in synapse function, the properties and p...

Lovely work from our neighbours, congrats @bencompans.bsky.social and @vincenzo-mastrolia.bsky.social !
