Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Essayan-Perez and Südhof1 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.
