The synaptic ribbon is a site of phosphatidic acid generation in ribbon synapses.
Ribbon synapses continuously transmit graded membrane potential changes into changes of synaptic vesicle exocytosis and rely on intense synaptic membrane trafficking. The synaptic ribbon is considered central to this process. In the present study we asked whether tonically active ribbon synapses are associated with the generation of certain lipids, specifically the highly active signaling phosp...

Why are these synapses special? Because the electrical signals they transmit are not the same as those in other parts of the brain. Conventional synapses convey information arriving as a ‘pulse code’; action potentials lasting a few milliseconds trigger a transient burst of vesicle fusion and the amplitude of the action potential is fixed. But ribbon synapses transmit ‘analogue signals’, such a...
متن کاملSynaptic Connectivity series Structure and function of ribbon synapses
Sensory neurons with short conduction distances can use nonregenerative, graded potentials to modulate transmitter release continuously. This mechanism can transmit information at much higher rates than spiking. Graded signaling requires a synapse to sustain high rates of exocytosis for relatively long periods, and this capacity is the special virtue of ribbon synapses. Vesicles tethered to the...
متن کاملSyntaxin 3B is essential for the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles in ribbon synapses of the retina.
Ribbon synapses of the vertebrate retina are specialized synapses that release neurotransmitter by synaptic vesicle exocytosis in a manner that is proportional to the level of depolarization of the cell. This release property is different from conventional neurons, in which the release of neurotransmitter occurs as a short-lived burst triggered by an action potential. Synaptic vesicle exocytosi...
