Deep Dive One: Synaptic Transmission

The simulation below is based on two review papers:

1. A molecular machine for neurotransmitter release: synaptotagmin and beyond (Sudhof 2013)

2. Timing of synaptic transmission (Sabitini & Regehr, 1999)

​

Read the reviews. Fiddle with the simulation. Answer the questions below.
