Extracellular vesicles released from cortical neurons influence spontaneous activity of recipient neurons.

This study shows that extracellular vesicles from cortical neurons alter spontaneous activity in recipient neurons by increasing postsynaptic potential amplitude.

Tspan15 depletion in mice affects social investigation and aggressive behavior

This study shows that Tspan15 depletion in mice increases social investigation and aggression, suggesting a role in neuronal circuits controlling aggressive behavior.

KIF21B binds Myosin Va for Spine Entry and regulates Actin Dynamics to control Homeostatic Synaptic Downscaling

This study identifies KIF21B's role in regulating actin dynamics and AMPA receptor removal in dendritic spines during homeostatic synaptic downscaling.

Katanin is involved in Microtubule Polymerization into Dendritic Spines and regulates Synaptic Plasticity

This study shows that katanin, a microtubule-severing complex, is located at dendritic spines and regulates microtubule polymerization and synaptic plasticity through activity-dependent processes.
