Temporal pattern dependence of neuronal peptide transmitter release: models and experiments.
In this paper we construct, on the basis of existing experimental data, a mathematical model of firing-elicited release of peptide transmitters from motor neuron B15 in the accessory radula closer neuromuscular system of Aplysia. The model consists of a slow "mobilizing" reaction and the fast release reaction itself. Experimentally, however, it was possible to measure only the mean, heavily ave...
متن کاملCalcium and transmitter release.
The mechanism of transmitter release by intracellular Ca has been explored by recording presynaptic Ca concentration ([Ca2+]i) with Ca-sensitive fluorescent dyes and by controlling [Ca2+]i with photosensitive Ca chelators. [Ca2+]i decays slowly (in seconds) after presynaptic action potentials, while transmitter release lasts only a few ms after each spike at fast synapses. Simulations of Ca dif...
متن کاملCalcium diffusion models and transmitter release in neurons.
Calcium enters neurons or nerve terminals through the surface membrane, and then diffuses inwardly and is diluted. Calcium acts at membrane sites to release transmitter or modulate channels, or at organelles or the nucleus to regulate metabolism. Thus the average cytoplasmic calcium concentration is a poor predictor of calcium-dependent processes. Solutions of the diffusion equation with approp...
متن کاملDifferential dependence of phasic transmitter release on synaptotagmin 1 at GABAergic and glutamatergic hippocampal synapses.
Previous studies revealed that synaptotagmin 1 is the major Ca(2+) sensor for fast synchronous transmitter release at excitatory synapses. However, the molecular identity of the Ca(2+) sensor at hippocampal inhibitory synapses has not been determined. To address the functional role of synaptotagmin 1 at identified inhibitory terminals, we made paired recordings from synaptically connected baske...
متن کاملExtrasynaptic Release of Dopamine in a Retinal Neuron Activity Dependence and Transmitter Modulation
Extrasynaptic release of dopamine is well documented, but its relation to the physiological activity of the neuron is unclear. Here we show that in absence of presynaptic active zones, solitary cell bodies of retinal dopaminergic neurons release by exocytosis packets of approximately 40,000 molecules of dopamine at irregular intervals and low frequency. The release is triggered by the action po...
