“…Far from a static “scaffold,” the post-synaptic density is a dynamic, liquid-liquid-phase-separated ( Cai et al, 2021 ; Feng et al, 2019 ; Zeng et al, 2016 , 2018 ) structure that rapidly responds to synaptic activity by altering its molecular composition via regulation of protein-protein interactions. Certainly, individual interactions, such as recruitment of AMPARs to PSD95 scaffolds ( Buonarati et al, 2019 ; Ehrlich and Malinow, 2004 ) or dissociation of mGluR from Homer EVH1 domains ( Guo et al, 2015 ; Ronesi et al, 2012 ) are well-characterized, but the molecular logic that allows a change in protein interactions to translate into functional cellular “calculations” ( Figure 1A ) remains understudied, partly due to technical limitations.…”
