The average age when physician-scientists begin their career has been rising. Here, we focused on one contributor to this change: the increasingly common decision by candidates to postpone applying to MD-PhD programs until after college. This creates

Rett syndrome is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transcriptional repressor methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Here we demonstrate that the Mecp2-null mouse model of Rett syndrome shows an age-de

The cellular mechanisms contributing to long-term potentiation and activity-induced formation of glutamatergic synapses have been intensely debated. Recent studies have sparked renewed interest in the role of presynaptic components in these processes

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) affect a wide array of biological processes, including learning and memory, attention, and addiction. lynx1, the founding member of a family of mammalian prototoxins, modulates nAChR function in vitro by alt

The use of fluorescent probes such as FM 1-43 or synapto-pHluorin to study the dynamic aspects of synaptic function has dramatically increased in recent years. The analysis of such experiments is both labor intensive and subject to potentially signif

The adducin family of proteins interacts with the actin cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane in a calcium- and cAMP-dependent manner. Thus, adducins may be involved in changes in cytoskeletal organization resulting from synaptic stimulation. β-Adduc

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) has an important function in cell regulation both as a precursor of second messenger molecules and by means of its direct interactions with cytosolic and membrane proteins. Biochemical studies hav

Whether contact of an axon with a dendrite is a necessary inductive signal for the assembly of functional presynaptic machinery is controversial. Combining FM1-43 imaging with retrospective immunocytochemistry, we observe many functional synaptic ves

Regulation of intracellular calcium influences neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity, gene expression, and neurotoxicity. In this study, we investigated the role of calcium in mechanisms underlying nicotine-mediated neuroprotection from glutamat
