A mitochondrion spans dozens of spines. When one spine undergoes plasticity, only the ~2 µm mito. region beside it remodels; the rest of the organelle remains unchanged. Not one uniform power supply, but a mosaic 🧠⚡ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... at Max Planck Florida (@mpfneuro.bsky.social)

This was a fun chat with Mark Mattson, part walk down memory lane through my graduate and postdoc years, part deep-dive into the latest from our lab. Mitochondria are active power plants that generate energy near synapses, exactly when and where the brain needs them, to store memories.
