The mammalian rod synaptic ribbon is essential for Cav channel facilitation and ultrafast fusion of the readily releasable pool of vesicles
This study shows that the synaptic ribbon in rod photoreceptors facilitates Cav channel opening and increases the size of the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles, essential for rapid glutamate release.
