Excited to share my first paper from my postdoc! In this study, we demonstrate that the mu opioid receptor produces a second wave of G protein activity on endosomes in a manner that doesn’t require receptor internalization. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Autism is associated with inflexibility of brain dynamics. Watanabe and Yamasue show that TMS over the right superior parietal lobule while the brain is ‘stuck’ in a certain state reduces this rigidity and relieves various autistic traits.
