Dissecting Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis
<p>Synaptic vesicle endocytosis is critical for ensuring rapid local recycling of synaptic vesicles to enable ongoing neuronal activity. We utilized the sensitivity and robustness of the pHluorin assay of synaptic vesicle recycling to probe the control of endocytosis spatially and in response to …

Genetic Dissection of Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis
Synaptic transmission is mediated by the quantal release of neurotransmitters through the fusion of discrete synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. To maintain reliable transmission, synaptic vesicles and proteins must be recycled after release of neurotransmitters. A key protein in this …

Molecular Determinants of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis and Endocytosis Coupling
Synaptic vesicle recycling is essential for maintaining normal synaptic function. The reuse of vesicles maintains the size of the presynaptic terminal and ensures the availability of synaptic vesicles for subsequent exocytosis. The coupling of exocytosis and endocytosis allows for continued rapid …

A Comparative Study of Sensory Neuron Synaptic Activity and the Role of Presynaptic Diversity, Specificity, and Regulation in Caenorhabitis Elegans
… circuit functions, we sought to characterize synaptic release in the stereotyped and defined neural circuitry of C. elegans. Here we use pHluorin imaging (Vglut-pH) to monitor presynaptic glutamate release from single chemosensory neurons in intact animals and characterize the dynamics of …
