Presynaptic NMDA receptors facilitate short-term plasticity and BDNF release at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses
Neurotransmitter release is a highly controlled process by which synapses can critically
regulate information transfer within neural circuits. While presynaptic receptors–typically …

Presynaptic Rac1 controls synaptic strength through the regulation of synaptic vesicle priming
Synapses contain a limited number of synaptic vesicles (SVs) that are released in response
to action potentials (APs). Therefore, sustaining synaptic transmission over a wide range of …

Calcium-dependent PKC isoforms have specialized roles in short-term synaptic plasticity
Posttetanic potentiation (PTP) is a widely observed form of short-term plasticity lasting for
tens of seconds after high-frequency stimulation. Here we show that although protein kinase …
