Neurobiology: All change at the synapse
Silvio O. Rizzoli & William J. Betz
Abstract
Two groups, using different approaches, have provided the first quantitative evidence that neurotransmitter release in the brain often occurs by a long-sought 'kiss-and-run' process.
Synaptic transmission — the transfer of information between nerve cells — is the most important aspect of brain function. Roughly speaking, it works as follows.
- Silvio O. Rizzoli and William J. Betz are in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Colorado Medical School, 4200 East Ninth Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80262, USA.
