The neurotrophic factor BDNF is an important regulator for the development of brain circuits,
for synaptic and neuronal network plasticity, as well as for neuroregeneration and …

Neuronal SNAREs and their key regulators together drive synaptic vesicle exocytosis and
synaptic transmission as a single integrated membrane fusion machine. Human pathogenic …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable and heterogeneous group of
neurodevelopmental phenotypes diagnosed in more than 1% of children. Common genetic …

Animals display selective escape behaviors when faced with environmental threats.
Selection of the appropriate response by the underlying neuronal network is key to …

The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has attracted the attention both of the
scientific community and a general audience because of its prosocial effects in mammals …

Neuropeptides are essential signaling molecules transported and secreted by dense‐core
vesicles (DCV s), but the number of DCV s available for secretion, their subcellular …

Despite the importance of dopamine for striatal circuit function, mechanistic understanding of
dopamine transmission remains incomplete. We recently showed that dopamine secretion …

Synaptic vesicles (SVs) release neurotransmitters at specialized active zones, but release
sites and organizing principles for the other major secretory pathway, neuropeptide …

The SNARE proteins involved in the secretion of neuromodulators from dense core vesicles
(DCVs) in mammalian neurons are still poorly characterized. Here we use tetanus …
