Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]
, 2009 Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 The Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a well-known model system and is often used to study synapse development. Here, we show synaptic degeneration at NMJ boutons, primarily based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies.

Spontaneous Vesicle Recycling in the Synaptic Bouton
Frontiers 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]
Frontiers 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 ...

Vesicular GABA Uptake Can Be Rate Limiting for Recovery of IPSCs from Synaptic Depression
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Synaptic efficacy plays crucial roles in neuronal circuit operation and synaptic plasticity. Presynaptic determinants of synaptic efficacy are neurotransmitter content in synaptic vesicles and the number of vesicles undergoing exocytosis at a ...

Protocol for Quantitative Analysis of Synaptic Vesicle Clustering in Axons of Cultured Neurons
STAR Protocols, 2020 Summary: Clustering of synaptic vesicles along the neuronal axons is a critical mechanism underpinning proper synaptic transmission. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for analyzing the distribution of synaptic vesicles in presynaptic boutons of ...

In vitro fusion of single synaptic and dense core vesicles reproduces key physiological properties
Nature Communications, 2019 Regulated exocytosis of neuronal synaptic vesicles is substantially faster than that of endocrine dense core vesicles despite similar molecular machineries.

Long-Term Temporal Dynamics of Synaptic Vesicles [PDF]
, 2016 Neurotransmission requires the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles. This occurs via fusion of the vesicle to the pre-synaptic membrane upon stimulation.

Binding of Rab3A to Synaptic Vesicles [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000 Prenylated Rab GTPases cycle between membrane-bound and soluble forms. Membrane-bound GDP-Rabs interact with GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI), resulting in the dissociation of a Rab.GDI complex, which in turn serves as a precursor for the membrane re-association of Rabs. We have now characterized the binding of Rab3A to synaptic vesicles in vitro using

Effects of synaptic vesicles on actin polymerization
, 1996 We have analyzed the effects of synaptic vesicles on actin polymerization by using a time-resolved spectrofluorometric assay. We have found that synaptic vesicles have complex effects on the kinetics of actin polymerization, which vary depending on ...
