Synaptopodin KO rat for assessing the dendritic spine apparatus and axonal cisternal organelle in synaptic plasticity, development, and behavior

This study generates Synpo KO rats to investigate Synpo's role in synaptic plasticity, development, and behavior, finding reduced LTP and body stature effects.

Presynaptic vesicles supply membrane for axonal bouton enlargement during LTP

The paper investigates how presynaptic vesicle density changes during LTP and links it to axonal bouton enlargement.

The presynaptic vesicle cluster transitions from a compact to loose organization during long-term potentiation

The paper shows that synaptic vesicle clusters become less dense and more dispersed during long-term potentiation, with increased mobility and a transition from compact to loose organization.

Violation of the ultrastructural size principle in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex underlies working memory impairment in the aged common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)

This study identifies age-related synapse loss and violation of the ultrastructural size principle in the marmoset dlPFC as factors underlying working memory impairment in aged individuals.

Deep Learning-Based Point-Scanning Super-Resolution Imaging

This paper introduces a deep learning method to enhance the resolution and speed of point-scanning imaging systems by restoring undersampled images.
