Journal ArticleDOI
R-Type Ca2+ channels are coupled to the rapid component of secretion in mouse adrenal slice chromaffin cells.
TL;DR: The experiments revealed the presence of a Ca2+ channel subtype never before described in chromaffin cells, a toxin and dihydropyridine-resistant Ca 2+ channel with fast inactivation kinetics, similar to the R-type Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast calcium transients in rat peritoneal mast cells are not sufficient to trigger exocytosis.
Erwin Neher,Wolfhard Almers +1 more
TL;DR: No evidence that an antigen‐induced Ca influx is required for degranulation is found, and Ca transients sometimes occurred spontaneously, especially in the presence of exogenous phosphatidylserine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferential potentiation of fast-releasing synaptic vesicles by cAMP at the calyx of Held
Takeshi Sakaba,Erwin Neher +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that cAMP selectively increases the number of vesicle with higher release probabilities, whereas a slow component of the EPSC, representing vesicles that fuse more slowly, is unchanged.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between exocytic control mechanisms in adrenal chromaffin cells and a glutamatergic synapse
TL;DR: The laboratory has made an effort to dissect the stimulus secretion pathway by developing assays in chromaffin cells and at a glutamatergic central nervous synapse, which permit the study of secretion in single cells under voltage clamp conditions, and enables us to clearly distinguish between consequences of changes in electrical signaling, from those regarding the process of vesicle recruitment or theprocess of exocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating synaptic parameters from mean variance, and covariance in trains of synaptic responses.
Volker Scheuss,Erwin Neher +1 more
TL;DR: The combined analysis of variance and covariance is advantageous in yielding an estimate for the number of release sites, which is independent of heterogeneity in the release probability under certain conditions, and allows one to calculate the apparent quantal size for each response in a sequence of stimuli.
