Journal ArticleDOI

A trans-synaptic nanocolumn aligns neurotransmitter release to receptors

TL;DR: It is proposed that the nanoarchitecture of the active zone directs action-potential-evoked vesicle fusion to occur preferentially at sites directly opposing postsynaptic receptor–scaffold ensembles.
Journal ArticleDOI

SynGO : An Evidence-Based, Expert-Curated Knowledge Base for the Synapse

TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic genes are exceptionally well conserved and less tolerant to mutations than other genes, and among de novo variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoscale Scaffolding Domains within the Postsynaptic Density Concentrate Synaptic AMPA Receptors

TL;DR: The observed clustered architecture of the PSD controlled the amplitude and variance of simulated postsynaptic currents, suggesting several ways in which PSD interior organization may regulate the strength and plasticity of neurotransmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schwann cell to axon transfer of ribosomes: toward a novel understanding of the role of glia in the nervous system.

TL;DR: It is shown that intact sciatic nerve axons of mice contain a small population of ribosomes, which increases by several orders of magnitude when axons are desomatized (severed from their cell bodies), which indicates that Schwann cells have the propensity to control axonal protein synthesis by supplying ribosome on local basis.
