Reorganization of synchronous and asynchronous release in developing hippocampal autaptic neurons of mice.
Article in Physiological reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Presynaptic vesicle pools, particularly the readily releasable pool (RRP), are essential for synaptic transmission. The RRP comprises fast-release pool (FRP) and slow-release pool (SRP) subpopulations that mediate synchronous and asynchronous neurotransmitter release, respectively, yet their developmental regulation remains unclear. To investigate this question, we utilized a hippocampal autaptic culture system to analyze synaptic function in individual excitatory neurons at 1, 2, and 3 weeks in vitro. We observed significant enhancements in both synaptic transmission efficiency and the size of RRP with neuronal maturation. Despite the increase in vesicle availability, the probability of vesicular release (Pvr) decreased during development, suggesting a shift in RRP composition or priming status. Although both synchronous and asynchronous release increased in absolute magnitude during development, the relative contribution of asynchronous release to total release declined with maturation, indicating a shift toward synchronous release in mature neurons. Furthermore, while the overall RRP refilling rate remained constant across development, early recovery of EPSCs after depletion was modestly faster in mature neurons. This finding may suggest preferential recruitment of vesicles into the FRP in mature neurons. These findings demonstrate a developmental reorganization of presynaptic vesicle pools that optimizes synchronous release and enhances temporal precision in mature synapses.
