🧠 New pre-print by Wiesner et al. (2025) shows non-#synaptic #exocytosis directly from the #axon shaft, regulated by the submembrane periodic skeleton. Using #superresolution #imaging and live assays (#HiLo (VAMP2-pHluorin), #SIM, and corr
Turns out the postsynaptic densities (PSD) that we use in electron microscopy to identify synapses aren’t made of large protein aggregates but rather of specialised cellular organelles: “we combined mouse genetics and cryo-electron tomograp

What “synapses” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediasynapses
- nounThe junction between the terminal of a neuron and either another neuron or a muscle or gland cell, over which nerve impulses pass.
- verbTo form a synapse.
In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that allows a neuron to exchange signals with another cell in its immediate vicinity. Synapses can be classified as either chemical or electrical, depending on the mechanism of signal transmission between neurons. In the case of electrical synapses, neurons are coupled bidirectionally with each other through gap junctions and have a connected cytoplasmic milieu. These types of synapses are known to produce synchronous network activity in the brain,
