Presynaptic regulation of quantal size: K+/H+ exchange stimulates vesicular glutamate transportGermaine Y Goh
Department of Physiology, Graduate Program in Neuroscience, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
Nat Neurosci 14:1285-92. 2011..Manipulating presynaptic K(+) at a glutamatergic synapse influenced quantal size, indicating that synaptic vesicle K(+)/H(+) exchange regulates glutamate release and synaptic transmission...
Dopaminergic terminals in the nucleus accumbens but not the dorsal striatum corelease glutamateGarret D Stuber
Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, University of California, San Francisco, Emeryville, California 94608, USA
J Neurosci 30:8229-33. 2010..Thus, the unique ability of NAc-projecting dopamine neurons to synchronously activate both dopamine and glutamate receptors may have crucial implications for the ability to respond to motivationally significant stimuli...
