Voltage-gated calcium (Ca 2+) channels initiate release of neurotransmitters at synapses,
and regulation of presynaptic Ca 2+ channels has a powerful influence on synaptic strength …

Voltage-gated Ca e+ channels control the entry of Ca e+ ions across the surface membrane
of neurons and other cells and thereby influence electrical activity and diverse cellular …

We used an antiserum against purified cholinergic synaptic vesicles from Torpedo and
expression screening to isolate a cDNA clone encoding synuclein, a 143 amino acid neuron …

Neurons release neurotransmitters by calcium-dependent exocytosis of synaptic vesicles.
However, the molecular steps transducing the calcium signal into membrane fusion are still …

Several types of calcium channels found in the central nervous system are possible
participants in triggering neurotransmitter release. Synaptic transmission between …

NEUROTRANSMITTERS are released at synapses by the Ca2+-regulated exocytosis of
synaptic vesicles, which are specialized secretory organelles that store high concentrations …

Calcium imaging is emerging as a popular technique in neuroscience. A major reason is
that intracellular calcium transients are reflections of electrical events in neurons. For …
