A Novel Synaptic Vesicle Fusion Path in the Rat Cerebral Cortex: The “Saddle” Point Hypothesis

We improved freeze-fracture electron microscopy to study synapses in the neuropil of the rat cerebral cortex at ∼2 nm resolution and in three-dimensions. In the pre-synaptic axon, we found that “rods” assembled from short filaments protruding from the vesicle and the plasma membrane connects synapti...
