Quantal amplitude at the cone ribbon synapse can be adjusted by changes in cytosolic glutamate

PURPOSE: Vision is encoded at photoreceptor synapses by the number of released vesicles and size of the post-synaptic response. We hypothesized that elevating cytosolic glutamate could enhance quantal size by increasing glutamate in vesicles. METHODS: We introduced glutamate (10–40 mM) into cone ter...
