Abstract excerpt
Rapid and reliable synaptic transmission depends upon the close proximity of voltage-gated calcium channels and neurotransmitter-containing vesicles in the presynaptic terminal. Although it is clear that a local Ca2+ rise conveys the crucial signal from Ca2+ channels to the exocytotic mechanism,...
