Summing across different active zones can explain the quasi-linear Ca2+-dependencies of exocytosis by receptor cells
Several recent studies of mature auditory and vestibular hair cells, and of visual and olfactory receptor cells, have observed nearly linear dependencies of the rate of neurotransmitter release events, or related measures, on the magnitude of Ca2+-entry into the cell. These relationships contrast wi...
