摘要
Isolated fish retinas were incubated with the Ca2+-ionophore A23187 at various Ca2+ concentrations. Computer reconstructions of the ultrastructure of cone synapses revealed pronounced reduction of the presynaptic surface (complete loss of the synaptic invaginations) in response to low intracellular Ca2+ (< 10(-8) M). No obvious effect on synaptic morphology was noticed at Ca2+ greater than 10(-8) M. Ca2+-dependent exocytotic activity appears to be a major factor controlling the invaginated morphology of cone synapses.
