Honoured to have presented at the super cool Ephys Club⚡😎👩‍🔬 and thank you for all the constructive comments!
Another successful Ephys Club! Pizza 🍕, refreshments 🥤 and an amazing talk from Laura Fedele, who set up a rig all by herself and managed to get successful recordings from iPSCs all in less than a year!

Thanks to our sponsor Scientifica for making it possible!

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!
Thank you @jbneuro.bsky.social for giving me the freedome to apply my fascination for super-resolution micrscopy to one of, if not his favorite compartment, the AIS.
A big thanks to Vincenzo for bringing his fantastic patching skills and to Clara for joining this adventure too!

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!
