A non-conducting role of the Cav1.4 Ca2+ channel drives homeostatic plasticity at the cone photoreceptor synapse

The paper shows that a non-conducting Cav1.4 Ca2+ channel is essential for cone synaptogenesis, and its absence is compensated by Cav3 channels, leading to normal cone-mediated vision in knock-in mice.
