Heterogeneous Release Properties of Visualized Individual Hippocampal Synapses
We have used endocytotic uptake of the styryl dye FM1-43 at synaptic terminals (Betz and Bewick, 1992) to study properties of individual synapses formed by axons of single hippocampal neurons in tissue culture. The distribution of values for probability of evoked transmitter release p estimated by dye uptake is continuous, with a preponderance of low p synapses and a broad spread of probabiliti...
متن کاملModelling Vesicular Release at Hippocampal Synapses
We study local calcium dynamics leading to a vesicle fusion in a stochastic, and spatially explicit, biophysical model of the CA3-CA1 presynaptic bouton. The kinetic model for vesicle release has two calcium sensors, a sensor for fast synchronous release that lasts a few tens of milliseconds and a separate sensor for slow asynchronous release that lasts a few hundred milliseconds. A wide range ...
متن کاملMultimodal quantal release at individual hippocampal synapses: evidence for no lateral inhibition.
Most CNS synapses investigated thus far contain a large number of vesicles docked at the active zone, possibly forming individual release sites. At the present time, it is unclear whether these vesicles can be discharged independently of one another. To investigate this problem, we recorded miniature excitatory currents by whole-cell and single-synapse recordings from CA3-CA1 hippocampal neuron...
متن کاملOptical Mapping of Release Properties in Synapses
Synapses are important functional units that determine how information flows through the brain. Understanding their biophysical properties and the molecules that underpin them is an important goal of cellular neuroscience. Thus, it is of interest to develop protocols that allow easy measurement of synaptic parameters in model systems that permit molecular manipulations. Here, we used a sensitiv...
متن کاملDopamine release at individual presynaptic terminals visualized with FFNs.
The nervous system transmits signals between neurons via neurotransmitter release during synaptic vesicle fusion. To observe neurotransmitter uptake and release from individual presynaptic terminals directly, we designed fluorescent false neurotransmitters as substrates for the synaptic vesicle monoamine transporter. Using these probes to image dopamine release in the striatum, we made several ...
