“…As outlined in the introduction, the synaptic ribbon has a well-established role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis (for review, [ 26 , 28 , 32 ]). The synaptic ribbon is affected by mutations of endocytic proteins [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] and might thus also play a role in endocytic vesicle retrieval (e.g., [ 28 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]). Therefore, we analyzed in detail whether the alterations of synaptic ribbons are associated with changes in evoked and basal synaptic vesicle cycling.…”
