    Description

    Synaptic vesicles (SVs) play a key role in synaptic transmission. This study used time-lapse microscopy to demonstrate two distinct mechanisms of vesicle traffic along axons. They utilized specific pharmacological interventions along with imaging of transient actin polymerization, and traffic of recycling SVs loaded with single quantum dots to characterize the underlying axonal actin structures. For...

    Description

    This study investigated the synaptic basis for various types of spiking response profiles, and how synaptic plasticity learning rules are important for shaping synaptic inputs for spike output and network performance. They leveraged cell-attached, extracellular, and whole-cell recordings from behaving animals alongside recurrent network modeling to explore the synaptic origins and functional contribution...
