This study identifies Paralemmin 2 as a lipid raft-associated protein that regulates axon initial segments and paranodal junctions through cell type-specific splicing.

This study shows fascin is present in dendritic spines and regulates synaptic plasticity, challenging previous assumptions about its role in neurons.

The paper shows TRIM46 is not required for axon specification or AIS formation in mice, contradicting previous cultured neuron studies.

The paper defines the axon initial segment proteome using immunoproximity biotinylation and identifies SCRIB as a highly enriched AIS protein.

This study shows that phosphorylation of α-synuclein at Serine-129 is a physiologic trigger for protein interactions and synaptic function, challenging its previous association with pathology.

The paper identifies micro-exon splicing changes in AIS proteins as a mechanism for activity-regulated late-onset plasticity in cerebellar granule cells.

The paper identifies Contactin-1 as an AIS cell surface protein that regulates axo-axonic innervation by interacting with Neurofascin and NrCAM.

This study identifies AnkR's role in regulating fast-spiking interneuron excitability through perineuronal nets and Kv3.1b K+ channels in mouse and human.
