ACh is transported into the end of neurons (synaptic vesicles) for storage until release by the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT).

The impulse of an action potential causes the release of acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles (each containing about 10,000 molecules of acetylcholine) diffusing across the 20-nm gap to the ...

An action potential reaching the motor-nerve terminus triggers the release of acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles.

Neurons use these vesicles as containers for their neurotransmitter molecules, which they fire from communications ports called synaptic terminals to signal to other neurons.

Young and his team first confirmed that the proteins play several key roles in ensuring that synaptic vesicles which contain ...

When signal-receiving molecules called NMDA receptors are activated at the post-synaptic terminals, the team found that OPHN1 protein molecules are recruited into the region.

For example, the quantity of glutamate in a synaptic vesicle, calculated at roughly 8000 molecules' worth, has been revealed to be much greater than previously believed. It is comparable in quantity ...

The authors further showed that neuroligin-induced synaptic vesicle clusters undergo depolarization-dependent exocytosis and endocytosis, like vesicles at bona fide synaptic terminals.

How molecules are routed within, outside cells Since most molecules are too large to directly pass through membranes, a mechanism is required to deliver the cargo ...
