Svoboda's lab group meeting

Volker is studying the mechanisms of calcium extrusion in dendritic spines. The extrusion of calcium is inhibited by prolonged calcium, causing additional accumulation of calcium. Surpringly, the inhibition does NOT depend on peak calcium, but number of APs or in other words, integrated calcium at 10-80Hz regime.

Alla is trying to inhibit synaptic transmission in vivo. She achieved really good infection using in-utero adeno injection. ---This could be usefull.
