Presynaptic nanodomains: a tale of two synapses

Here we summarize the evidence from two giant presynaptic terminals - the squid giant synapse and the mammalian calyx of Held - supporting the involvement of nanodomain calcium signals in triggering of neurotransmitter release. At the squid synapse, there are three main lines of experimental evidenc...
