Expression of Neurofilament Subunits at Neocortical Glutamatergic and GABAergic Synapses

Neurofilaments (NFs) are neuron-specific heteropolymers that have long been considered as structural proteins. However, it has recently been documented that they may play a functional role at synapses. Indeed, the four NF subunits—NFL, NFM, NFH and α-internexin—are integral components of synapses in...
