The constant dynamic movement of synapses and their components has emerged in the last decades as a key feature of synaptic transmission and its plasticity. Intramolecular protein movements drive conformation changes important to transduce transmitter binding into signaling. Constant cytoskeletal rearrangements power synapse shape movements.

The transmission of information across neuronal synapses is an energetically taxing business. Sheng and colleagues monitored the localization of mitochondria following different levels of synaptic activation and discovered that these organelles change their distribution in interesting ways, stalling near synapses when neurons are activated and ...

The strength of many synapses is modified by various use and time-dependent processes, including facilitation and depression. A general description of synaptic transfer characteristics must account for the history-dependence of synaptic efficacy and should be able to predict the postsynaptic response to any temporal pattern of presynaptic activity.

Electrochemistry at the Synapse [PDF]
Electrochemical measurements of neurotransmitters provide insight into the dynamics of neurotransmission. In this review, we describe the development of electrochemical measurements of neurotransmitters and how they started with extrasynaptic measurements but now are pushing toward synaptic measurements.

Regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis and synapse formation by copines [PDF]
Primary rat hippocampal culture is a well established system to study molecular mechanisms occurring during synapse formation and maturation. By closer analysis of the temporal appearance of presynaptic Bassoon and the postsynaptic proteins SynGAP, PSD ...

Huntingtin and the Synapse [PDF]
Huntington disease (HD) is a monogenic disease that results in a combination of motor, psychiatric and cognitive symptoms. HD is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which results in the production of a pathogenic mutant HTT protein (mHTT).

Casein kinase 2 controls synapse organization and stability [PDF]
Synapse remodeling is a local and dynamic process, requiring constant modifications of the neuronal network. Post-translational modifications, such as reversible phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases, play a crucial role in synapse development and ...

Identification and characterization of cell adhesion molecules controlling synapse stability [PDF]
Neuronal circuits form the basis of a functional nervous system to process and integrate information and to react to environmental cues. The formation of functional synaptic connections between neurons is essential for the establishment of these circuits.

Synapse-level wiring rule inferred with SBI differs from Peters’ rule.
We compared an SBI-inferred parametrized wiring rule predicting synapse counts on the subcellular level with a corresponding formulation of Peters’ rule.

The Immunological Synapse [PDF]
AbstractThe molecular interactions underlying regulation of the immune response take place in a nanoscale gap between T cells and antigen-presenting cells, termed the immunological synapse. If these interactions are regulated appropriately, the host is defended against a wide range of pathogens and deranged host cells.
