Neuron. 38:2003;929-939 The authors show that activation of presynaptic nicotinic receptors results in asynchronous release of glutamate. The mechanism for this phenomenon involves calcium influx through nicotinic receptor channels and subsequent calcium mediated calcium release from internal stores.

Nature. 423:2003;607-613 The authors use imaging experiments on excitatory hippocampal synapses in culture to reveal three distinct modes of vesicle cycling; one mode uses the transient opening of a selective fusion pore to release glutamate and, in another mode, endocytosis is triggered by action potentials. This work also shows that vesicle identity is maintained in the sense that synaptic vesicle proteins remain together through the vesicle cycle.
