tlooto Summary
A basic design principle where the single synapse is a highly ordered and compartmentalized unit that by the functional nano-segregation of distinct forms of neurotransmission shapes synaptic efficacy, determines neurotransmission reliability, and tunes plasticity is supported.
Abstract
Within the single micron of the synapse, three distinct modes of neurotransmission, driven by synchronous, asynchronous, and spontaneous neurotransmitter release, occur concurrently. In this chapter, we discuss the synaptic nano-organization comprised of...
