Spontaneous neurotransmission signals through store-driven Ca2+ transients to maintain synaptic homeostasis

Spontaneous neurotransmission signals through store-driven Ca2+ transients to maintain synaptic homeostasis

Spontaneous glutamate release-driven NMDA receptor activity exerts a strong influence on synaptic homeostasis. However, the properties of Ca2+ signals that mediate this effect remain unclear. Here, using hippocampal neurons labeled with the fluorescent Ca2+ probes Fluo-4 or GCAMP5, we visualized act...
