The paper characterizes a VGLUT1 knock-down mouse model and finds that reduced VGLUT1 expression does not significantly affect quantal size or frequency of glutamate release.

The paper identifies hub synapses in the mouse striatum formed by dopaminergic inputs that connect with glutamatergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic synapses, revealing a new framework for studying neuromodulation.

The paper shows that frontal association cortex pyramidal neurons integrate Gaussian noise and amygdala inputs non-linearly to promote fear learning.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which VGLUT1 increases synaptic vesicle clustering, reducing superpool size and spontaneous release frequency through interactions with endophilinA1 and intersectin1.
