Abstract

Vilcaes et al. uncover a novel form of interneuronal communication using extracellular vesicles that allows the exchange of synaptic vesicle proteins, including synaptobrevin, via a CD81-dependent mechanism. Through this mechanism, neurons can modify the protein composition and signaling properties of other neurons.
