The paper uses endogenous tagging to study Unc-13 nanocluster reorganization during presynaptic homeostatic potentiation in Drosophila.

This study examines the ultrastructural changes in active zones of RIM1α knock-out mice compared to wild-type, revealing altered synaptic vesicle organization and architecture.

The paper measures channel opening durations in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) by recording single-molecule currents and finds that agonist binding at specific sites determines opening durations and burst patterns.

The paper develops a method for 3D-dSTORM imaging of mouse brain sections to analyze presynaptic active zones, finding differences in Bassoon cluster size and density across hippocampal regions.

The paper investigates presynaptic homeostatic potentiation (PHP) in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that AZs compact rather than enlarge, increasing protein density without changing Brp copy numbers.

This study identifies Complexin as a conserved vesicular protein that interacts with Bruchpilot's C-terminus to tether synaptic vesicles to the active zone cytomatrix in Drosophila and mouse synapses.
