    Department of Anatomy, MRC Centre for Synaptic Plasticity, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
    Biochem Soc Trans 37:1359-63. 2009
    ..The present minireview aims to bring together evidence supporting a role for NCS proteins in plasticity, focusing on emerging roles of NCS-1 and hippocalcin...

    John L Sherwood
    MRC Centre for Synaptic Plasticity, School of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Bristol, BS8 1TD, UK
    Neurochem Int 61:482-9. 2012
    ..Transverse slices have denser fibre tracts but a smaller proportion of giant mossy fibre boutons. These results further demonstrate a considerable heterogeneity in the functional properties of the mossy fibre projection...
