Microtubule depolymerization contributes to spontaneous neurotransmitter release in vitro
Abstract Microtubules are key to multiple neuronal functions involving the transport of organelles, however, their relationship to neurotransmitter release is still unresolved. Here, we show that microtubules present in the presynaptic compartment of cholinergic autaptic synapses are dynamic. To inv...
