BLIMPS: a technique for tandem biosensor imaging across multiple populations of presynaptic terminals, using lattice light sheet microscopy.

Mariana C. Potcoava, Zack Zurawski, Iris Lu, Simon T. Alford

BLIMPS enables high-speed, high-resolution imaging of presynaptic Ca2+ dynamics in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons using lattice light sheet microscopy and genetically encoded calcium indicators.

Presynaptic GABAB autoreceptors suppress neurotransmitter release during repetitive stimulation via the Gβγ-SNARE pathway.

Zack Zurawski, Iris Lu, Mariana Potcoava, Claire E. Delbove, Christian J. Peters, Heidi Hamm, Simon Alford

The paper shows that GABAB autoreceptors suppress neurotransmitter release during repetitive stimulation via the Gβγ-SNARE pathway, distinct from exogenous agonist effects.
