Activity-dependent decrease in contact areas between subsurface cisterns and plasma membrane of hippocampal neurons

Activity-dependent decrease in contact areas between subsurface cisterns and plasma membrane of hippocampal neurons

Abstract Subsurface cistern (SSC) in neuronal soma and primary dendrites is a specialized compartment of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is in close apposition (10 nm) with the plasma membrane (PM). ER-PM contact areas are thought to be involved in intracellular calcium regulation. Here, structural...
