Developmental up-regulation of vesicular glutamate transporter-1 promotes neocortical presynaptic terminal development.

Presynaptic terminal formation is a complex process that requires assembly of proteins responsible for synaptic transmission at sites of axo-dendritic contact. Accumulation of presynaptic proteins at developing terminals is facilitated by glutamate receptor activation. Glutamate is loaded into synap...
