Hippocampal Mossy Cells Provide a Fate Switch for Adult Neural Stem Cells.

abstract：:Voltage-gated calcium channels are well characterized at neuronal somata but less thoroughly understood at the presynaptic terminal where they trigger transmitter release. In order to elucidate how the intrinsic properties of presynaptic calcium channels influence synaptic function, we have made direct recordings of t...
