Exploring Diverse Synaptic Subpopulations Through Protein Expressions

摘要

Our current understanding of synaptic connections within the brain remains limited. While traditionally categorized as excitatory and inhibitory, recent research has unveiled a more diverse array of synapse types. This study aims to characterize these distinct subpopulations based on protein expression. Our analysis employs Array Tomography to investigate protein expressions at synaptic sites, revealing preliminary evidence for a broader range of sub-synaptic clusters beyond excitatory and inhibitory categories.
