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)

📢 New preprint alert! We watch ATP, the energy currency, in tiny compartments of brain synapses to show that synapses talk to their local mitochondria to produce energy right when needed during plasticity, required for memory formation: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
