Synapses differ in their shape, size, and function and exhibit ongoing plasticity during the development and modification of neural circuits. The structural diversity of synapses is largely known whereas the molecular diversity of synapses is much less well understood. While most synaptic molecules have been identified by immunolabeling and bulk proteomic approaches, the complement of proteins present at individual synapse types, as well as their stoichiometric relationships with other molecules remains unknown. Indeed, our current classification mostly relies on neurotransmitter/receptor phenotypes, leading to broad descriptors like “excitatory” or “inhibitory” synapses. Because the…
