Scope and Contents

Contents

This study shows that spontaneous opening of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) is a major trigger of action potential independent synaptic vesicle release, and finds that R-type channels contribute disproportionately, consistent with a relatively negative activation threshold. The authors also use Ca
