The constant dynamic movement of synapses and their components has emerged in the last
decades as a key feature of synaptic transmission and its plasticity. Intramolecular protein …

Neurotransmitter receptor movement into and out of synapses is one of the core mechanisms
for rapidly changing the number of functional receptors during synaptic plasticity. Recent …

Concentration of neurotransmitter receptors at synapses is thought to result from stable
binding to subsynaptic scaffold proteins. Recent data on synaptic plasticity have shown that …

… At low densities, D ranged from 9.30 × 10 −10 cm 2 /s for the few freely diffusing beads to
0.033 × 10 −10 cm 2 /s for beads displaying rearward movement (average D = 1.98 × 10 −10 ± …

Many synapses in the mature CNS are wrapped by a dense extracellular matrix (ECM). Using
single-particle tracking and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we found that this …

The spatiotemporal organization of neurotransmitter receptors in postsynaptic membranes is
a fundamental determinant of synaptic transmission and information processing by the brain…

… d, Simultaneous recording of two GluR2-bound beads on a single neurite. Left, differential
interference contrast image of the neurite (14 DIV). Right, diffusion coefficient versus time for …

Accumulation of AMPA receptors at synapses is a fundamental feature of glutamatergic
synaptic transmission. Stargazin, a member of the TARP family, is an AMPAR auxiliary subunit …

… (D–F) Histogram of the signals for different samples. (D) Shown are 10-nm gold colloids
spin-coated in PvOH films. The distribution is well fitted by a single Gaussian curve as expected …

… We constructed trajectories of single molecules from image series acquired at a rate of 15
Hz and calculated the instantaneous diffusion coefficient (D) 5 (Supplementary Methods). To …
