Regulation of interneuron excitability by gap junction coupling with principal cells
Electrical coupling in the brain usually occurs between inhibitory neurons that are anatomically and functionally similar. Here the authors show that the excitability of inhibitory interneurons in the dorsal c...

Presynaptic regulation of quantal size: K+/H+ exchange stimulates vesicular glutamate transport
The authors report that rat brain glutamatergic synaptic vesicles express monovalent cation/H+ exchangers that convert the Δψ of the proton electrochemical gradient into Δψ. They find that this K+/H+ exchange sti...

KCNQ5 channels control resting properties and release probability of a synapse
Huang and Trussell show that resting potential of the calyx of Held synapse is controlled by KCNQ5 potassium channels. Unlike most KCNQ channels, which activate only on depolarization, these presynaptic channe...

Slow glycinergic transmission mediated by transmitter pooling
Fast-acting neurotransmitters are usually cleared quickly from synaptic regions, making the time course of synaptic responses independent of active sites. The authors describe an exception to this rule at glyc...

Cell-specific, spike timing–dependent plasticities in the dorsal cochlear nucleus
In the dorsal cochlear nucleus, long-term synaptic plasticity can be induced at the parallel fiber inputs that synapse onto both fusiform principal neurons and cartwheel feedforward inhibitory interneurons. He...

Transmission at the hair cell synapse
In cochlear hair cells, each transmitter release site communicates information about sound frequency and intensity. Now the first direct electrophysiological recordings from the structures postsynaptic to thes...
