Transport of a kinesin-cargo pair along microtubules into dendritic spines undergoing synaptic plasticity

Transport of a kinesin-cargo pair along microtubules into dendritic spines undergoing synaptic plasticity

Transport of cargo into dendritic spines is required for synaptic plasticity. McVicker et al.describe a method of activity-dependent transport of a kinesin KIF1A and its cargo synaptotagmin-IV along microtubules that are transiently polymerized into dendritic spines.
