Short-term synaptic plasticity

RS Zucker, WG Regehr - Annual review of physiology, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Synaptic transmission is a dynamic process. Postsynaptic responses wax and
wane as presynaptic activity evolves. This prominent characteristic of chemical synaptic …

Multiple roles of calcium ions in the regulation of neurotransmitter release

E Neher, T Sakaba - Neuron, 2008 - cell.com
The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+]) has important roles in the triggering of
neurotransmitter release and the regulation of short-term plasticity (STP). Transmitter …

Definition of the readily releasable pool of vesicles at hippocampal synapses

C Rosenmund, CF Stevens - Neuron, 1996 - cell.com
A readily releasable pool of quanta, tentatively identified with docked synaptic vesicles, has
been defined by analysis of the neurotransmitter release caused by application of hypertonic …

[PDF][PDF] Short-term synaptic plasticity

RS Zucker - Annual review of neuroscience, 1989 - mcb.berkeley.edu
Chemical synapses are not static. Postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) wax and wane, depending
on the recent history of presynaptic activity. At some synapses PSPs grow during repetitive …

Munc13-1 is essential for fusion competence of glutamatergic synaptic vesicles

I Augustin, C Rosenmund, TC Südhof, N Brose - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
Neurotransmitter release at synapses between nerve cells is mediated by calcium-triggered
exocytotic fusion of synaptic vesicles. Before fusion, vesicles dock at the presynaptic release …

Paired‐pulse facilitation and depression at unitary synapses in rat hippocampus: quantal fluctuation affects subsequent release.
