Annotation genes

Annotation rationales
Core glutamatergic identity SLC17A7 pairs with high-throughput release (SNAP25/VAMP2/RAB3A) and axonal stability (STMN2/NEFL/NEFM); CALM1/NRGN/VSNL1 fine-tune Ca²⁺ thresholds. Mitochondrial and glycolytic genes sustain energetic cost of rapid firing.
Functional implications
Executes fast, reliable glutamate transmission for high-frequency cortical rhythms and top–down control; robust axonal maintenance enables long-range precision over prolonged activity.
