Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the structural plasticity of ribbon synapses, which have unique electron-dense synaptic bodies visible under a microscope.
- The researchers examined these structures in rod-type photoreceptor cells of BALB/c mice, noting their presence under different lighting conditions.
- Quantification showed that club-shaped and spherical profiles were significantly more abundant in light and nearly absent in darkness, suggesting a potential role in synapse inactivation during reduced neurotransmitter release.
