Synaptic plasticity: Stacking up synaptic structure

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 17, 604 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.119 Author: Sian Lewis The proximity of neurotransmitter-release sites to the corresponding postsynaptic receptors influences synaptic strength and plasticity, but the precise alignment between the two is poorly elucidated. Here, the density of the active-zone proteins Rab3-interacting molecule 1 and 2 (RIM1/2) at synapses between cultured hippocampal neurons was
