Distinct modes of endocytotic presynaptic membrane and protein uptake at the calyx of Held terminal of rats and mice

Distinct modes of endocytotic presynaptic membrane and protein uptake at the calyx of Held terminal of rats and mice

Neurotransmitter is released at synapses by fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane. To sustain synaptic transmission, compensatory retrieval of membranes and vesicular proteins is essential. We combined capacitance measurements and pH-imaging via pH-sensitive vesicular protein marker (...
