This study identifies Piccolo's role in astrocytic ECM secretion, showing its impact on synapse formation and neuronal network activity in PCH3.

This study investigates the role of piccolino in cochlear inner hair cell synapses, finding it contributes to active zone organization and is essential for normal synaptic transmission.

The paper identifies Pclo mutations in rats that affect reproductive behavior and link to depression-associated genes.

This study shows that Piccolo knockout rats exhibit anatomical and behavioral features similar to Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 3, supporting a causal link between Piccolo function and PCH3.

This study shows Piccolo is essential for synaptic vesicle recycling through Pra1 and Rab5, linking its dysfunction to neurological disorders.

This study uses light-induced ROS to control SV protein damage and shows that autophagy rapidly clears damaged proteins in mouse hippocampal neurons, maintaining synaptic function.
