    • Neuron–Glial Interactions: Implications for Plasticity, Behavior, and Cognition 

      Rangel-Gomez, Mauricio; Alberini, Cristina M; Deneen, Benjamin; Drummond, Gabrielle T; Manninen, Tiina; e.a. (Society for Neuroscience, 2024-10-02)
      The traditional view of glial cells as mere supportive tissue has shifted, due to advances in technology and theoretical conceptualization, to include a diversity of other functions, such as regulation of complex behaviors. ...

    • Active Zone Maturation Controls Presynaptic Output and Release Mode and Is Regulated by Neuronal Activity 

      Akbergenova, Yulia; Matthias, Jessica; Makeyeva, Sofya; Littleton, J Troy (Society for Neuroscience, 2025-11-26)
      Synapse formation requires the accumulation of cytomatrix proteins and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) at presynaptic active zones (AZs). At Drosophila melanogaster larval neuromuscular junctions, a sequential process ...

    • Evidence for an Active Handoff between Hemispheres during Target Tracking 

      Broschard, Matthew B; Roy, Jefferson E; Brincat, Scott L; Mahnke, Meredith K; Miller, Earl K (Society for Neuroscience, 2025-10-29)
      The brain has somewhat separate cognitive resources for the left and right sides of our visual field. Despite this lateralization, we have a smooth and unified perception of our environment. This raises the question of how ...
