Kinetics of synaptotagmin responses to Ca2+ and assembly with the core SNARE complex onto membranes.

abstract：:In the olfactory bulb of vertebrates or the homologous antennal lobe of insects, odor quality is represented by stereotyped patterns of neuronal activity that are reproducible within and between individuals. Using optical imaging to monitor synaptic activity in the Drosophila antennal lobe, we show here that classical...
