Structural Properties of Synaptic Transmission and Temporal Dynamics at Excitatory Layer 5B Synapses in the Adult Rat Somatosensory Cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Cortical computations rely on functionally diverse and highly dynamic synapses. How their structural composition affects synaptic transmission and plasticity and whether they support functional diversity remains rather unclear.

Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.

Identification of a synaptic vesicle-specific membrane protein with a wide distribution in neuronal and neurosecretory tissue. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Two different monoclonal antibodies, characterized initially as binding synaptic terminal regions of rat brain, bind a 65,000-dalton protein, which is exposed on the outer surface of brain synaptic vesicles. Immunocytochemical experiments at the electron

Trans-synaptic assemblies link synaptic vesicles and neuroreceptors. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv, 2021
AbstractSynaptic transmission is characterized by fast, tightly coupled processes and complex signaling path-ways that require a distinctly non-random spatial organization of their components. Nanoscale organization of synaptic proteins at glutamatergic synapses was suggested to regulate synaptic plasticity, the process underlying learning and memory ...

Analysis of shape and spatial interaction of synaptic vesicles using data from focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM)

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
The spatial interactions of synaptic vesicles in synapses were assessed after a detailed characterization of size, shape, and orientation of the synaptic vesicles.

Plekhg5-regulated autophagy of synaptic vesicles reveals a pathogenic mechanism in motoneuron disease

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Autophagy-mediated degradation of synaptic components maintains synaptic homeostasis but also constitutes a mechanism of neurodegeneration. It is unclear how autophagy of synaptic vesicles and components of presynaptic active zones is regulated. Here, we

Synaptic vesicle fusion [PDF]

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2008
The core of the neurotransmitter release machinery is formed by SNARE complexes, which bring the vesicle and plasma membranes together and are key for fusion, and by Munc18-1, which controls SNARE-complex formation and may also have a direct role in fusion.

Spontaneous Vesicle Recycling in the Synaptic Bouton

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The trigger for synaptic vesicle exocytosis is Ca2+, which enters the synaptic bouton following action potential stimulation. However, spontaneous release of neurotransmitter also occurs in the absence of stimulation in virtually all synaptic boutons. It

Synaptic vesicle pools: an update [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
During the last few decades synaptic vesicles have been assigned to a variety of functional and morphological classes or "pools". We have argued in the past (Rizzoli and Betz, 2005) that synaptic activity in several preparations is accounted for by the function of three vesicle pools: the readily releasable pool (docked at active zones and ready to go ...
