This study shows that autoantibodies against GABAB receptors cause presynaptic pathology leading to cognitive decline and memory impairment.

This study shows that Bruchpilot remodeling couples synaptic structure to Kv1/Shaker channel control of excitability, restoring function in sleepless mutants.

This study shows that octopamine rapidly potentiates presynaptic neurotransmitter release in Drosophila by clustering Unc13 via diacylglycerol signaling, affecting synaptic function and behavior.

This study identifies Blobby as a novel regulator of presynaptic active zone nanopatterning and shows its role in maintaining Ca2+ channel packing density and synaptic function.

The paper shows that spontaneous neurotransmission at synapses predicts their responsiveness to action potentials in Drosophila NMJs.

The paper identifies RAB2's role in presynaptic precursor vesicle biogenesis at the trans-Golgi network, showing its necessity for proper protein transport and neurotransmission.
