The mammalian rod synaptic ribbon is essential for Ca(v) channel facilitation and ultrafast synaptic vesicle fusion

Rod photoreceptors (PRs) use ribbon synapses to transmit visual information. To signal ‘no light detected’ they release glutamate continually to activate post-synaptic receptors. When light is detected glutamate release pauses. How a rod’s individual ribbon enables this process was studied here by r...
