Lecture

Presynaptic dynamics: Short-term and long-term modulation

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics of presynaptic neurotransmitter release, focusing on short-term facilitation and depression, post-tetanic potentiation, and long-term presynaptic plasticity. It explains how changes in calcium concentration affect release rates and synaptic strength, and how cellular mechanisms such as adenylate cyclase and protein kinases modulate presynaptic efficacy over different time scales.
