Gene Called Flower Missing Link In Vesicle Uptake In Neurons

As part of synaptic transmission from one neuron to the next, bubbles containing neurotransmitters that make information exchange possible, travel to the tip of neurons, where they fuse with the cell's membrane. The extra membrane is captured in a process called endocytosis and recycled to enable the next cycle. Exocytosis must be tightly coupled with endocytosis to sustain rapid neurotransmission, researchers report.
