1. Our work showing that GABA-receptive microglia selectively sculpt inhibitory synapses during development is out @CellCellPress: authors.elsevier.com/c/1dMWhL7PXe~wk
Wonderful collaboration w/ @stevens1lab @Datta_Lab Farhi lab @RichBonneauNYU @harvardmed @broadinstitute thread⬇︎ 2. Work from many labs has shown that #microglia are key regulators of synapse #development but we know that not all #synapses are created equal. The best example? Excitatory vs inhibitory synapses. Are microglia a jack of all trades or do they focus on specific synapse types?
