California is making it's budget -- ask your reps to fund transit!
https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fund-transit-support-our-communities
actionnetwork.orgFund Transit, Support Our Communities Cleaner air, less traffic, and healthier communities – when we as California fund transit, we support our communities. We make it so our neighbors and families can easily and affordably get where they want to go when they want to go. Whether Californians are going to work, to the store, to appointments, or just out with friends – they should be able to rely on transit to take them there. But California underfunds transit – especially compared to other states. So people are often left waiting too long for a bus or train; while cars clog our streets and pollute our air. On top of that, our state's biggest transit agencies are on the cusp of having to cut back service as support from the federal government runs out. These cuts will put even more cars on the road, pollution in our lungs, and leave many people without good ways to get where they need to go. But we can fix this. Right now, your elected representatives in Sacramento are drafting their proposals for what they need to fund with the state’s budget of over $300 Billion. Help them get the message loud and clear: “Fund Transit, Support Our Communities.” Send a letter to your representatives in Sacramento using the form here ---->

What’s your favorite #VTA light rail line?
Promo video for #VTA light rail in #SanJose from 1989. Was surprised to see the trains moving at a totally reasonable speed until I realized I was watching at 1.5x. https://youtu.be/CSk_yQtmiR4

In response to a few questions people have asked:
We used whole-cell patch-clamp #electrophysiology to record the activity of single #neurons.
The "resist changes" refers to #neuroplasticity. We found a reduction in long-term depression, or #LTD, in adult mice after high frequency stimulus (HFS) compared to adolescent mice.
These cells are specifically #GABA releasing cells in the ventral tegmental area (#VTA ), where GABA can regulate dopamine release throughout the #brain.
