The Active and Periactive Zone Organization and the Functional Properties of Small and Large Synapses
The arrival of an action potential (AP) at a synaptic terminal elicits highly synchronized quanta release. Repetitive APs produce successive synaptic vesicle (SV) fusions that require management of spent synaptic vesicle components in the presynaptic membrane with minimum disturbance of the secretor...
