“…Mitochondria play key roles in neurons, and are involved in cell physiology, buffering of calcium levels, ROS maintenance, and regulation of neuronal plasticity (Li, Okamoto, Hayashi, & Sheng, 2004;Rueda et al, 2014;Vos, Lauwers, & Verstreken, 2010). These processes are critical for maintenance of mitochondrial function, cellular quality control, and can play a role in neuronal plasticity and structure (Cassidy-Stone et al, 2008;Chen, McCaffery, & Chan, 2007;Divakaruni et al, 2018;Li et al, 2004). Outer membrane protein Dynamin-1-like protein (Drp1) and mitochondrial fission 1 molecules (Fis1) are involved in mitochondrial fission, while inner mitochondrial membrane protein, mitochondrial dynamin like GTPase (Opa1), outer membrane protein, Mitofusin 1 (Mfn1), and Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) molecules are involved in mitochondrial fusion (Detmer & Chan, 2007;Friedman & Nunnari, 2014;Westermann, 2010).…”
