- Title
Neurotransmission: Putting the synapse in shape.
- Authors
Bodo, Cristian
- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigates the release probability (pr) and size of readily releasable pool (RRP) of individual synapses in rats. The dissociated hippocampal neurons of rats were transfected using fluorescent sensor pHluorin to the synaptic vesicle protein. It reveals the influence of active zone of synapses in RRP and pr. It shows the short-term changes undergone by hippocampal neuronal cultures and active zone size at individual synapses.
