Probing Single Synapses via the Photolytic Release of Neurotransmitters
The development of two-photon microscopy has revolutionized our understanding of how synapses are formed and how they transform synaptic inputs in dendritic spines—tiny protrusions that cover the dendrites of pyramidal neurons that receive most excitatory synaptic information in the brain. These dis...
