Control of central synaptic specificity in insect sensory neurons

Article Abstract:

Synaptic specificity is a culmination of a series of developmental processes, but how neurons achieve this synaptic specificity is not understood. The study summarizes the work of sensory neurons in insects and establishes some of the principle and molecular mechanisms involved in the control of synaptic specificity.

Cell biology of the presynaptic terminal

Article Abstract:

Synaptic transmission involves fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane and activation of postsynaptic receptors. The status and understanding of how synaptic morphology is maintained and then the mechanism in synaptic vesicle exocytosis and recycling is reviewed.

The synaptic vesicle cycle

Article Abstract:

The evaluation of how well the molecular characterization of synaptic vesicle proteins and their interaction account for the physiological properties of the vesicle cycle is attempted. Studies reveal how Ca2+ triggers exocytosis and how vesicles recycle.
