A Normative Model Reveals Functional Optimization of Synaptic Nano-Architecture

Super-resolution microscopy approaches have revealed that synaptic proteins are not randomly distributed within individual synapses. Rather, they form sub-synaptic clusters that may be coordinated between the synaptic compartments, thereby forming transsynaptic nanocolumns. However, the functional significance of this nano-architecture remains under debate. In particular, it is unclear whether…
