The regulated release of neurotransmitter occurs via the fusion of synaptic vesicles (SV s) at
specialized regions of the presynaptic membrane called active zones (AZ s). These regions …

Neuronal communication relies on chemical synaptic transmission for information transfer
and processing. Chemical neurotransmission is initiated by synaptic vesicle fusion with the …

Here we define activities of RIM-binding protein (RBP) that are essential for baseline
neurotransmission and presynaptic homeostatic plasticity. At baseline, rbp mutants have a∼ …

" Qu'est-ce que le système nerveux? Comment fonctionnent et communiquent les cellules
qui le constituent? Qu'est-ce que la mémoire? Le langage? L'intelligence? Voilà quelques …

Regenerative capacity of the brain is a variable trait within animals. Aquatic vertebrates such
as zebrafish have widespread ability to renew their brains upon damage, while mammals …

Mover, a member of the exquisitely small group of vertebrate-specific presynaptic proteins,
has been discovered as an interaction partner of the scaffolding protein Bassoon, yet its …

The ciliated protozoan, Paramecium tetraurelia has a high basic Ca 2+ leakage rate which is
counteracted mainly by export through a contractile vacuole complex, based on its V-type …

Presynaptic active zone is a slightly electron dense region beneath the presynaptic plasma
membrane, where synaptic vesicles, containing neurotransmitters, dock, fuse, and release …

In mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems, most of presynaptic terminals
operate as follows. Synaptic vesicles docked and primed at the active zone are ready for …

Chemical synapses of the central nervous system (CNS) are highly specialized signalling
connections for neuronal communication. They consist of a presynaptic terminal belonging …
