    Enterovirus D68 2A protease causes nuclear pore complex dysfunction and independently contributes to motor neuron toxicity

    Katrina M Zinn, Mathew W McLaren ... Matthew J Elrick
    Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.

    Developmental oligodendrocytes regulate brain function through the mediation of synchronized spontaneous activity

    Ryo Masumura, Kyosuke Goda ... Naofumi Uesaka
    Disrupting oligodendrocytes during a narrow early-life window leaves cerebellar circuits permanently mistimed, but adult re-synchronization restores social and motor behavior.

    Deployment of endocytic machinery to periactive zones of nerve terminals is independent of active zone assembly and evoked release

    Javier Emperador-Melero, Steven J Del Signore ... Avital A Rodal
    Presynaptic endocytic machinery is constitutively deployed to periactive zones, indicating independent assembly pathways for the exo- and endocytic machineries of nerve terminals.
