Endocytosis, exocytosis, and lateral diffusion are key mechanisms for AMPA receptor trafficking. Endocytosis of AMPARs and other postsynaptic proteins has been proposed to occur at specific endocytic zones (EZs), but the mechanisms that regulate this process are not at all clear. In this issue of Neuron, Lu et al. show that correct synaptic EZ positioning requires links between the GTPase dynam...

The question of how to compare languages and more generally the domain of linguistic typology, relies on the study of different linguistic properties or phenomena. Classically, such a comparison is done semi-manually, for example by extracting information from databases such as the WALS. However, it remains difficult to identify precisely regular parameters, available for different languages, t...

Language complexity is an intriguing phenomenon argued to play an important role in both language learning and processing. The need to compare languages with regard to their complexity resulted in a multitude of approaches and methods, ranging from accounts targeting specific structural features to global quantification of variation more generally. In this paper, we investigate the degree to wh...
