| Description: | My laboratory studies how calcium triggers neurotransmitter release, and how it regulates release during synaptic plasticity. In my talk, I will present recent data describing the properties of the calcium sensors mediating the triggering of release and its regulation during presynaptic plasticity. I will also show results explaining their mechanism of action, at least in part, and try to describe how the combined actions of multiple molecules converges to achieve the unusual speed and precision with which neurotransmitter release occurs.
