As promised, and committing to the core open science values of our lab, here's the updated preprint. More data, more supplementary figures, stronger conclusions. 'Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclasses' www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclassesNeuronal function is intimately tied to axodendritic polarity. Neurotransmitter release, for example, is usually the role of the axon. There are widespread exceptions to this rule, however, including ...www.biorxiv.orgAna Dorrego RivasDone 😎 (updated preprint also coming soon!)
