Highlights d Basal synaptic transmission in VGLUT1-KO calyx of Held synapses is largely intact d VGLUT1 loss slows down SV refilling with glutamate d VGLUT1 loss leads to abnormal synaptic failures during sustained stimulation d The speed of glutamate loading into SVs can be rate limiting for neurotransmission
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
