Strength and precision of neurotransmission at mammalian presynaptic terminals. [PDF]
Proc Jpn Acad Ser B Phys Biol Sci, 2015 Classically, the basic concept of chemical synaptic transmission was established at the frog neuromuscular junction, and direct intracellular recordings from presynaptic terminals at the squid giant presynaptic terminal have further clarified principles of neurotransmitter release.

Investigate Synaptic Vesicles Mobility in Neuronal Culture Axons by FRAP Imaging
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are clustered in the presynaptic terminals and consistently trafficking along axons. Based on their release features, SVs are classified into different “pools”.

Developmental up-regulation of vesicular glutamate transporter-1 promotes neocortical presynaptic terminal development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Presynaptic terminal formation is a complex process that requires assembly of proteins responsible for synaptic transmission at sites of axo-dendritic contact.

Editorial: Molecular Nanomachines of the Presynaptic Terminal [PDF]
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2016 Cell biology and neurobiology have started many decades ago as attempts to unravel the complexity of cellular processes, by studying different elements, from membranes and organelles to molecules in isolation. Through ever increasing technological improvements, a huge amount of information has accumulated on the molecular organization of the cell, and ...

Excitement about Inhibitory Presynaptic Terminals [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 Based on extrapolation from excitatory synapses, it is often assumed that depletion of the releasable pool of synaptic vesicles is the main factor underlying depression at inhibitory synapses. In this issue of Neuron, using subcellular patch-clamp recording from inhibitory presynaptic terminals, Kawaguchi and Sakaba (2015) show that at Purkinje cell ...

Neurexin mediates the assembly of presynaptic terminals [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2003 Neurexins are a large family of proteins that act as neuronal cell-surface receptors. The function and localization of the various neurexins, however, have not yet been clarified. Beta-neurexins are candidate receptors for neuroligin-1, a postsynaptic membrane protein that can trigger synapse formation at axon contacts.
