We would like to thank our amazing team for all of the work that goes into every episode of AMiNDR. Today's episode was scripted by Maria Zhu and Ellen Koch, hosted and edited by Ellen Koch. The bibliography was created by Satish Kumar and the wordcloud was generated by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). Big thanks to sorting manager Elyn Rowe and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, and to our managers Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch and Anusha Kamesh, for keeping everything running smoothly.

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
