SynEM, automated synapse detection for connectomics
eLife, 2017 Nerve tissue contains a high density of chemical synapses, about 1 per µm3 in the mammalian cerebral cortex. Thus, even for small blocks of nerve tissue, dense connectomic mapping requires the identification of millions to billions of synapses. While the

Drosophila gustatory projections are segregated by taste modality and connectivity
eLife, 2022 Gustatory sensory neurons detect caloric and harmful compounds in potential food and convey this information to the brain to inform feeding decisions. To examine the signals that gustatory neurons transmit and receive, we reconstructed gustatory axons ...

A population of immature cerebellar parallel fibre synapses are insensitive to adenosine but are inhibited by hypoxia [PDF]
, 2011 The purine adenosine plays an important role in a number of physiological and pathological processes and is neuroprotective during hypoxia and ischemia.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009 AbstractDiverse biological data may be used to create illustrations of molecules in their cellular context. I describe the scientific results that support a recent textbook illustration of the neuromuscular synapse. The image magnifies a portion of the synapse at one million times, showing the location and the form of individual macromolecules. Results

Synaptic plasticity and cognitive function are disrupted in the absence of Lrp4. [PDF]
, 2014 Lrp4, the muscle receptor for neuronal Agrin, is expressed in the hippocampus and areas involved in cognition. The function of Lrp4 in the brain, however, is unknown, as Lrp4-/- mice fail to form neuromuscular synapses and die at birth.

Noise-modulated multistable synapses in a Wilson-Cowan-based model of plasticity
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2023 Frequency-dependent plasticity refers to changes in synaptic strength in response to different stimulation frequencies. Resonance is a factor known to be of importance in such frequency dependence, however, the role of neural noise in the process remains
