This study shows fascin is present in dendritic spines and regulates synaptic plasticity, challenging previous assumptions about its role in neurons.

The paper shows that GABAergic synaptic scaling, not AMPAergic scaling, homeostatically controls spiking levels by responding to changes in spiking activity rather than direct receptor activation.

This study shows that methylglyoxal, a metabolite of glucose, reduces axon initial segment length and modulates neuronal network activity in type 2 diabetic mice.

The paper identifies depolarization of resting membrane potential as a fast homeostatic mechanism for recovery of embryonic spinal network activity following neurotransmitter receptor blockade.
