In this issue of Neuron, Sinha et al. (2020) demonstrate that synaptic organization at rod bipolar cell terminals is regulated by a leucine-rich repeat protein, LRRTM4. LRRTM4 is expressed specifically by rod bipolar cells; eliminating it in mouse retina perturbs the organization of synaptic ribbons and impairs the function of inhibitory synapses.
