  Complex activity and short-term plasticity of human cerebral organoids reciprocally connected with axons

  Connecting cerebral organoids with an axon bundle models inter-regional projections and enhances neural activity. Optogenetic stimulation induces short-term plasticity, offering insights into macroscopic circuit development and functionality.

  Fast resupply of synaptic vesicles requires synaptotagmin-3

  Synaptotagmin-3 is identified as the presynaptic high-affinity calcium sensor to rapidly replenish synaptic vesicles to maintain steady synaptic transmission.

  Asynchronous glutamate release is enhanced in low release efficacy synapses and dispersed across the active zone

  Neurotransmitters can be released with a delay in relation to action potentials. This work demonstrates how this asynchronous release is related to overall vesicle release probability and short-term plasticity.

  Transsynaptic modulation of presynaptic short-term plasticity in hippocampal mossy fiber synapses

  Post‐tetanic potentiation (PTP) is a major form of plasticity at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses and is considered an entirely presynaptic phenomenon. The authors show that mossy fiber PTP not only lacks associativity, but rather shows anti‐associative induction properties, implementing a brake on mossy fiber detonation.
