Calcium 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 کاملQuantitative Aspects of Transmitter Release
The opener-stretcher motor neuron in crayfish makes 50 endings upon each of 1200 muscle fibers. We have calculated the quantal content of junctional potentials produced by individual terminals and by the whole cell at various physiological frequencies. The results show that when the motor neuron is active at 20 impulses/second, it releases 50 quanta/impulse per muscle fiber, or a total of 4.5 x...
متن کاملMechanism of long-term potentiation of transmitter release induced by adrenaline in bullfrog sympathetic ganglia
A mechanism of the long-term potentiation of transmitter release induced by adrenaline (ALTP) was studied by recording intracellularly the fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fast EPSPs). The ALTP was produced during the blockade of K+ channels at the presynaptic terminals by tetraethylammonium (TEA). The synaptic delay, possibly reflecting a relative change in the duration of an action po...
متن کاملThe Nanophysiology of Fast Transmitter Release
Action potentials invading the presynaptic terminal trigger discharge of docked synaptic vesicles (SVs) by opening voltage-dependent calcium channels (CaVs) and admitting calcium ions (Ca(2+)), which diffuse to, and activate, SV sensors. At most synapses, SV sensors and CaVs are sufficiently close that release is gated by individual CaV Ca(2+) nanodomains centered on the channel mouth. Other sy...
متن کاملQuantal Mechanism of Transmitter Release during Progressive Depletion of the Presynaptic Stores at a Ganglionic Synapse
In the present experiments we interfered with the mechanism of acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis in the rat superior cervical ganglion by impairing the supply of either the choline group (hemicholinium no. 3 [HC-3]treatment) or the acetyl group (thiamine deprivation). Under both conditions stimulation causes in the ganglion a progressive decline in ACh output associated with a depletion of transmit...
