The paper introduces a method to profile miRNA expression in specific cell types and compartments in the mouse brain using transgenic mice and validates its effectiveness through bioinformatic analysis.

This study develops a tagged knock-in mouse strain to visualize and isolate endogenous neuroligin-1, revealing its presence at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses.

The paper shows MDGAs delay excitatory synapse development by altering neuroligin behavior through fast diffusion and reduced mobility.

The paper identifies synaptopodin as a synaptic tag regulated by miR124 that enables non-uniform and input-specific homeostatic synaptic plasticity in response to activity deprivation.

This study uses optogenetics to show that phosphorylation of neuroligin-1 promotes excitatory synaptic differentiation and potentiation.
