Thank you @bpodaily.bsky.social for the feature! I love this image. It captures some of the major processes that shape synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Synaptic vesicles, microtubule intrusions into the dendritic spine, clear synaptic cleft and PSD.

Importin β1's role in presynaptic vesicles of hippocampal neurons for spatial memory 📷 @philipfreund.bsky.social @npanayotis.bsky.social et al @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social in @science.org Signaling ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2026... with John Ankers

New paper out. Intriguing impact of restricted importin β1 mRNA localization on synaptic local translation, plasticity, and spatial memory.

Very happy to share our new paper in #ScienceSignaling revealing that importin β1 isn’t just important for nuclear transport or neuronal growth. We now show it is key for presynaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, local translation, and memory! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
