Corresponding relationship from LLPS to the synapse.

Up-regulation Down-regulation
LLPS Condensate with nanodomain-like structure Dispersion
PSD Clustering of proteins Loss of proteins
Receptor Stabilize as nanodomain Lateral diffusion
Synapse Potentiation Depression

LLPS-mediated condensation of PSD proteins with nanodomain-like structures corresponds to the clustering of PSD, stabilization of AMPAR as nanodomain, and synaptic potentiation. In contrast, the dispersion of PSD protein condensate corresponds to the loss of scaffolding proteins in the PSD, increased lateral diffusion, and synaptic depression.
