摘要
The most important property of synaptic transmission is its speed, which is crucial for the overall workings of the brain. In his Nobel Lecture, T. C. Südhof explains how the synaptic vesicle and the plasma membrane undergo rapid fusion during neurotransmitter release and how this process is spatially organized, such that opening of Ca2+-channels allows rapid translation of the entering Ca2+ signal into a fusion event. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
