"Modes of vesicle fusion and retrieval at a central synapse"
 Neurons communicate with each other via
chemical synaptic transmission. Regulation of the strength of
synaptic transmission plays essential roles in many physiological
and pathological processes, such as control of neuronal network
outputs, neuronal development, learning and memory, and
neurological diseases. It remains poorly understood how synaptic
strength is controlled at nerve terminals. Filling this gap of
knowledge is the goal of the Synaptic Transmission Unit
