This paper introduces TubuTag, a genetically encoded calcium sensor for imaging dendritic calcium signals in neurons with high temporal and spatial resolution.

The paper shows that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) visits active dendritic spines to prevent excessive synaptic potentiation.

The paper introduces SynTagMA, a tool to mark active synapses in a 2-second window, and provides software for analyzing large datasets of synaptic activity.

This study identifies myosin V as essential for synaptopodin clustering at post-synaptic sites, showing that the spine apparatus is assembled locally rather than transported.
