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 uses STED nanoscopy to show Bassoon is an extended protein at the Golgi-apparatus with its N-terminus near the trans-Golgi network and C-terminus away from it.
