Abstract excerpt
Our knowledge on the Drosophila neuromuscular synapse is rapidly expanding. Thus, this synapse offers an excellent model for studies of the molecular mechanism of synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. Two synaptic vesicle (SV) pools have been identified and characterized using a fluorescent styryl dye, FM1-43, to stain SVs. They are termed the exo/endo cycling pool (ECP), which corresponds to the readily...
