the researchers also determined the energy threshold needed to support synaptic vesicle cycling--the process by
and both types of boutons had sufficient ATP to support synaptic vesicle cycling. From this, the scientists concluded that under normal conditions,
T-shaped structures at the presynaptic membrane tether synaptic vesicles and control the release of neurotransmitters to the postsynaptic neuron.
They require a constant supply of energy to mediate the sustained release of the contents of an enormous number of synaptic vesicles,
