We introduce Sylites - small and versatile fluorogenic affinity probes for high-contrast visualization of inhibitory synapses. Having stoichiometric labeling and exceptional selectivity for neuronal gephyrin, a hallmark protein of the inhibitory post-synapse, Sylites enable superior synapse staining compared with antibodies. Combined with super-resolution microscopy, Sylites allow precise nanoscopic measurements of the synapse. In brain tissue, Sylites reveal the three-dimensional distribution of inhibitory synapses within just an hour.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
