Abstract excerpt
Analyses of the effect of ryanodine in vertebrate brain slices have led to the conclusion that presynaptic ryanodine receptors (RYRs) may have several functions in synaptic release, including causing large-amplitude miniature postsynaptic currents (mPSCs) by promoting concerted multivesicular release. However, the role of RYRs in synaptic release is controversial. To better understand the role of RYRs in synaptic...
