Mapping the Short-Term Plasticity of Working Memory
A study in Cell Reports identifies Munc13‑1 as a calcium‑sensing molecular sensor that drives short‑term synaptic strengthening essential for working memory. Using knock‑in mice, researchers showed that disrupting calcium‑phospholipid or calcium‑calmodulin pathways in Munc13‑1 impairs post‑tetanic potentiation and short‑term facilitation at hippocampal mossy‑fiber synapses. The synaptic deficits translate into marked working‑memory failures in radial‑maze tests. Findings link a precise presynaptic mechanism to cognitive performance and suggest new drug targets for neurodegenerative disorders.
