Nano-organization of synapses defines synaptic release properties at cortical neuron dendritic spines

Haani Jafri, Samantha J. Thomas, Sung Hoon Yang…·Matthew B. Dalva

The paper investigates the nanoarchitecture of synapses and finds that nanomodules define synaptic release sites and influence the pattern of miniature synaptic responses.
