Optical measurements of presynaptic release in mutant zebrafish lacking postsynaptic receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Differentiation of presynaptic nerve terminals is mediated, in part, through contact with the appropriate postsynaptic target cell. In particular, studies using dissociated nerve and muscle derived from Xenopus embryos have indicated that the properties of transmitter release from motor neurons are altered after contact with skeletal muscle. This maturation of presynaptic function has further been linked to...
