TWiN 2: Cells that fire together wire together

<p>The TWiN team explain the basic principles of synaptic transmission, and review a classic paper demonstrating that recycling endosomes are important for modifying synaptic strength, which is involved in information storage and processing.</p> <p>Hosts: <a href="http://twitter.com/orilieberman">Ori Lieberman</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/bendesky">Andres Bendesky</a>,<a href="http://twitter.com/jasonsynaptic">Jason Shepherd</a>, and <a href= "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Racaniello">Vincent Racaniello</a></p> <p>Subscribe (free): <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-neuroscience/id1485118950">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/I2sbvoxtw3ef7to7ugeungnwhq4?t%3DThis_Week_in_Neuroscience%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href= "https://twin1.libsyn.com/rss">RSS</a>, email</p> <p>Become a <a href= "http://www.microbe.tv/contribute">patron</a> of TWiN!</p> <h3>Links for this episode</h3> <ul> <li><a href= "http://e3b.columbia.edu/faculty/andres-bendesky/">Bendesky lab</a></li> <li>Recycling Endosomes Supply <a href= "https://science.sciencemag.org/content/305/5692/1972.long">AMPA Receptors for LTP</a> (Science)</li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPA_receptor">AMPA receptor</a> (Wikipedia)</li> <li><a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synapse#/media/File:Chemical_synapse_schema_cropped.jpg"> Image credit</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.microbe.tv/twin/twin-2-letters/(opens%20in%20a%20new%20tab)"> Letters read</a> on TWiN #2</li> </ul> <p>Intro music is by <a href="http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ronald Jenkees</a>.</p> <p>Send your neuroscience questions and comments to twin@microbe.tv</p>
