Authors Jacinto S, Guerreiro P, de Oliveira RM, Cunha-Oliveira T, Santos MJ, Grazina M, Rego AC, Outeiro TF Journal Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience Citation Front Cell Neurosci. 2021 Mar 17;15:641264. Abstract Mutations in the MPV17 gene are associated with hepatocerebral form of mitochondrial depletion syndrome. The mechanisms through which MPV17

Authors Jähne S, Mikulasch F, Heuer HGH, Truckenbrodt S, Agüi-Gonzalez P, Grewe K, Vogts A, Rizzoli SO, Priesemann V Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Reports 34, 108841, March 16, 2021. Abstract Synaptic transmission relies on the continual exocytosis and recycling of synaptic vesicles. Aged vesicle proteins are prevented from recycling

Authors Neher E, Taschenberger H Journal Neuroscience Citation Neuroscience. 2021 Mar 15;458:182-202. Abstract Synaptic vesicles (SVs) undergo multiple steps of functional maturation (priming) before being fusion competent. We present an analysis technique, which decomposes the time course of quantal release during repetitive stimulation as a sum of contributions of SVs,

Authors Weber M, Leutenegger M, Stoldt S, Jakobs S, Mihaila TS, Butkevich AN, Hell SW Journal Nature Photonics Citation Nat. Photonics 15, 361–366 (2021). Abstract We introduce MINSTED, a fluorophore localization and super-resolution microscopy concept based on stimulated emission depletion (STED) that provides spatial precision and resolution down to the

Authors Huet AT, Dombrowsik T, Rankovic V, Thirumalai A, Moser T Journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience Citation Front. Mol. Neurosci. 14:635897. Abstract Optogenetic stimulation of type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) promises an alternative to the electrical stimulation by current cochlear implants (CIs) for improved hearing restoration by future optical

Abstract The

Authors Reshetniak S, Rizzoli SO Journal Current Opinion in Cell Biology Citation Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2021 Mar 8;71:63-68. Abstract For decades, the synaptic vesicle cluster has been thought of as a storage space for synaptic vesicles, whose obvious function is to provide vesicles for the depolarization-induced release of neurotransmitters;
