Abstract excerpt
Following synaptic vesicle fusion, vacated release sites are replenished immediately by new vesicles for subsequent neurotransmission. These replacement vesicles are assumed to be located near release sites and used by chance. Here we find in mouse hippocampal excitatory synapses that replacement vesicles are clustered near the active zone where release sites reside by intersectin-1. Specifically, intersectin-1...
