Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Essayan-Perez and Südhof <superscript>1</superscript> demonstrate roles for γ-secretase in the regulation of synaptic functions in human neurons. Chronic attenuation of γ-secretase activity increases synapse formation but decreases neurotransmission (i.e., the probability of presynaptic release), likely due to impairment of cholesterol metabolism.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
