When threatened by dangerous or harmful stimuli, animals engage in diverse forms of rapid
escape behaviors. In Drosophila larvae, one type of escape response involves C-shaped …

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs) are targets for modulation in Hebbian and
homeostatic synaptic plasticity and are remodeled by development, experience, and …

Synaptic heterogeneity is a hallmark of complex nervous systems that enables reliable and
responsive communication in neural circuits. In this study, we investigated the contributions …

Synaptic heterogeneity is a hallmark of nervous systems that enables complex and
adaptable communication in neural circuits. To understand circuit function, it is thus critical to …

Chemical synaptic transmission involves neurotransmitter release from presynaptic active
zones (AZs). The AZ protein Rab-3-interacting molecule (RIM) is important for normal Ca2+ …

Synaptic heterogeneity is a hallmark of nervous systems that enables complex and
adaptable communication in neural circuits. To understand circuit function, it is thus critical to …

Neuronal diversity is a hallmark of the nervous system that has captivated scientists for over
a century. In this issue of Neuron, Suresh Jetti and colleagues report the identification of …

Motor neurons are the longest neurons in the body, with axon terminals separated from the
soma by as much as a meter. These terminals are largely autonomous with regard to their …

RNA editing is a post-transcriptional source of protein diversity and occurs across the animal
kingdom. Given the complete profile of mRNA targets and their editing rate in individual cells …

Synapses are endowed with the flexibility to change through experience, but must be
sufficiently stable to last a lifetime. This tension is illustrated at the Drosophila …
