JOINER LAB

Green: A superset of GFP-labeled sleep-promoting neurons in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster. Magenta: neuropil. Confocal image generated by Jim Robinson, a graduate student in the Joiner lab... Spike frequency adaptation of a hippocampal pyramidal neuron. Synaptic plasticity in these neurons is modulated by Ly6h, a protein whose properties were first described by Clare Puddifoot and Meilin Wu, two postdocs in the Joiner lab...
