Abstract: Sensitive synapses Synaptic boutons, the points of communication between nerve cells, are so tiny that it has been impossible to record their electrical activity without slicing the brain. In a technical tour de force, Rancz et al. provide the first intracellular recordings from presynaptic boutons in the intact mammalian brain. Their results contradict the prevailing views — derived from in vitro work — on how the cerebellum integrates sensory information to control movement, by revealing an unexpected sensitivity of single brain connections to stimuli from the environment.
