Exciting new publication of Wonchan's remaining post-doc work from the Kwon Lab at MPFI. In this collaboration with the Heo Lab at KAIST, we show the spatiotemporal activity of Cdc42 and Ras at synaptic and cellular levels using intensiometric small GTPase biosensors. Was fun to get back into studying single spine LTP by 2p uncaging.
