Elucidation of molecular mechanisms that regulate synapse formation is required for the understanding of neural wiring, higher brain functions, and mental disorders. Despite the wealth of in vitro information, fundamental questions about how . . . → Read More: Trans-Synaptic Interaction of GluR?2 and Neurexin through Cbln1 Mediates Synapse Formation in the Cerebellum

Potassium channels embedded in cell membranes employ gates to regulate K+ current. While a specific constriction in the permeation pathway has historically been implicated in gating, recent reports suggest that the signature ion selectivity . . . → Read More: Domain Reorientation and Rotation of an Intracellular Assembly Regulate Conduction in Kir Potassium Channels
