This study shows that myelin maintenance in adult mice affects synaptic plasticity and neuron homeostasis, while new myelin stabilizes synapses in basal dendrites.

The paper shows microglia extract proteolytic organelles from neurons via a process called skoupocytosis, which bypasses retrograde transport and aids neuronal homeostasis.

The paper shows that Intersectin-1 and Endophilin A1 form condensates near synaptic release sites to cluster replacement vesicles, enabling rapid replenishment of neurotransmitter release sites.

This study shows that axon morphology and function are influenced by membrane mechanics, with activity modulating cholesterol levels and affecting conduction velocity.

The paper shows that mature myelin in adult mice is plastic and can modify node of Ranvier length and periaxonal space size to adjust action potential conduction velocity and synchronicity.

This study shows that LRP1 inhibits OPC differentiation in adult mouse brains, and its deletion increases myelination and remyelination.
