The Concept of a Synapse
The term synapse, introduced by Sir Charles Sherrington in 1897, stems from the greek “syn” and “haptein” which come together to mean “to clasp”. Sherrington, an english physiologist, is a pioneer in the field of neuroscience famously credited for his work regarding reflexes and the nervous system. While studying the activity of nerve cells, he used the word synapse to describe the gap between two cells which played an important part in how they communicated with each other. This helped shape the understanding neuroscientists have about how neurons transmit information to each other.
Loewi and Vagusstoff (1921)
In 1921, Otto Loewi discovered neurotransmitters, which introduced the idea that cells transmitted information to each other using chemical molecules. Loewi formed this hypothesis by taking two separate frog hearts and observing that by stimulating one, then collecting the fluid of it and applying it to the second, the same effects occurred as if it had also been stimulated. This suggested to him that whatever chemical had been released in the first frog heart when it had been stimulated and then slowed down, was also responsible for causing the slowing of the second heart when exposed to the fluid containing that chemical. Not knowing what this chemical was, he called it “vagustoff”, meaning vagus substance.
Dale’s Principle
Henry Hallett Dale furthered Loewi’s research, by identifying the vagus substance as the chemical acetylcholine. Dale tested the effects of different chemicals on the vagus nerve which led him to observe that when acetylcholine was injected into the tissue, it mimicked the effects of the slowed heart rate that had been previously observed by Loewi in his experiments. This was a significant discovery because scientist had previously assumed nerves (brain cells) communicated only electrically, not chemically. It was then in 1936, Loewi and Dale were awarded the Nobel Piece Prize for establishing the research of chemical synaptic transmission. It was asserted then that the activity of the nervous system was the result of neurons communicating with each other via chemical messengers.
From his research, Dale proposed that a neuron will release the same neurotransmitter for all of its communication with other neurons. For example, if a neuron releases acetylcholine, it can be assumed that it will not release a different chemical and can then be defined by the chemical it uses to communicate. This hypothesis was called “Dale’s principle”.
Hodgkin and Huxley (1952 – 1954)
In 1952 Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley used the squid giant axon, a large nerve fiber in squids, to study how action potentials worked. At the time, it was known that nerve cells could generate electrical signals, but how it happened was still unclear. Hodgkin and Huxley conducted an experiment where they inserted a fine electrode into the axon (cell body) of a squid to measure the electrical potential (voltage) across it. They applied electrical stimuli to the axon and recorded the changes of the membrane’s electrical potential in response to it. During this they discovered that action potentials resulted from the movement of sodium (na+) and potassium (K+) ions.
Resting potential
Hodgkin and Huxley first measured the potential of the cell body while nothing was happening to it. This was called the resting potential. It was observed that during this the distribution potassium ions were abundant inside the cell and sodium ions were abundant outside.
Depolarization
After they stimulated the neuron, they observed that the membrane potential became more positive. This was a process called depolarization. This occurred due to the voltage-gated proteins embedded in the cell opening up and allowing for the sodium ions outside of it to rush in. Sodium ions, having a positive charge, increased the electrical potential of the cell and made the resting potential rise.
Re-polarization
After the electrical potential of the cell rose to its highest point, the channels that allowed sodium in closed, and channels that only allowed potassium through them, opened. This made for potassium to flow out of the cell and lower the electrical charge back to what it was at it’s resting potential.
All-or-Nothing Principle
This experiment showed that action potentials follow an all-or-nothing principle, meaning once the electrical potential of a neuron rose to it’s highest point, the action potential occurred all at once, this way due to the way the opening and closing of the embedded proteins in the cell body worked.
Chemical Synapse
The “chemical synapse” is the phrase used to describe the gap between two cells, where the transmission of neurotransmitters from one cell to another happens at. Located at the end of the cell body is the presynaptic terminal of a chemical synapse. Located here specifically are voltage gated calcium channels which open as a result of an action potential arriving after it has traveled down the neuron. Since there is no calcium in the cell, diffusion makes for the positively charged calcium outside to flow in. After calcium enters the cell, a process happens where neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles which are tiny sac-like organelles that have a lipid bilayer membrane like cells do. This process occurs when calcium binds to coil like structures called SNARE proteins. These proteins attach to both the membrane of the vesicle and the cell, and twists. This fuses the two membranes together to the extent that the vesicle opens up and dumps the neurotransmitters all at once into the synaptic cleft. After the neurotransmitters are dumped into the synapse (synaptic cleft), it binds to the receptors on the following postsynaptic cell. These receptors are embedded in the branch like structures called dendrites, and when filled by neurotransmitters, it causes the signaling of proteins in the cell body such as sodium and potassium channels to open, repeating the process of the action potential traveling down the neuron and causing neurotransmitter release to happen once again.
The Quantal Hypothesis (1952)
Fatt & Katz (1952):
The idea that neurotransmitters were released in same-size “bundles” called quanta, was introduced by Bernard Katz in 1952. Katz formulated the quantal hypothesis, which is essential to our current understanding of how neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic terminal. In this hypothesis, Katz proposed that neurotransmitters are released from presynaptic terminals not in a continuous flow, but in separate packets or “quanta”.

del Castillo and Katz 1954
Katz used a frog neuromuscular junction, where he was specifically looking at synapses used for motor neurons communicating with muscle fibers, to observe changes in electrical potential of the postsynaptic neuron. The changes to the postsynaptic neuron are called EPP (End Plate Potential), which represent the change in electrical potential of the post synaptic membrane as a result. He then reduced the extracellular calcium and stimulated the presynaptic cell by injecting a bit of current and just waited for spontaneous.
The Neuromuscular Junction
Circa 1950 physiologists knew that there were end-plate potentials in muscles (postsynaptic) at the NMJ
End-plate potentials are the NMJ equivalent of an EPSP.

Electron microscopy of the synapse (we have vesicles, but what are they for?)
Electron microscopy (EM) is a way of looking at the synapse using an electron microscope which has about 2000 times more resolution than a light microscope and it allows for what is being examined to be magnified 100,000 times. This allowed scientists to see that the synapse had vesicles in which neurotransmitters were stored and released.
Vesicles
Exocytosis is the natural process through which molecules are transported from within a cell to the outside space of it. There are multiple different forms of exocytosis, but this chapter will focus on vesicular exocytosis. Vesicular exocytosis occurs when vesicles fuse with a cell’s plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell. It is a form of active transport that allows a cell to move large molecules from within the cell to the exterior. This type of exocytosis is only found in bacteria and occurs through the involvement of lysosomes that help in membrane fusion.
A vesicle is a division within a cell that is formed by a lipid bilayer that separates its contents from the cell’s cytoplasm or extracellular fluid. These form naturally during processes of exocytosis, endocytosis, and the transportation of materials in the plasma membrane. Vesicles perform several different functions, mainly transporting materials and recycling waste. Additionally, they also absorb and dispose of toxic substances and pathogens within the cell to prevent cell damage and/or death.

The presence of calcium ions (Ca2+) is important for exocytosis to occur. Several experiments have shown that an increase in extracellular or manipulation of intracellular calcium levels affects exocytosis, either inhibiting or promoting it. Studies using calcium chelators or channel blockers also provides evidence for vesicular exocytosis and its dependency on calcium ion levels.
Patch-clamp and Electrophysiological Studies
Patch-clamp and electrophysiological experiments in neurons have provided data that there are rapid changes in membrane potential that are associated with vesicle fusion and release. This study technique allows researchers to study ionic currents in cells, tissues, and patches of cell membrane, and directly measures membrane potentials. The dynamic nature of exocytosis is revealed with these studies, as well as evidence for the quantal release of neurotransmitters.
SNARE (soluble NSF attachments protein receptor) proteins, such as syntaxin, SNAP-25, and VAMP, are essential for the process of exocytosis and provide support for the concept on a molecular level. These proteins are the mediators for vesicle docking and fusion with a cell’s plasma membrane. When these proteins are tampered with and their function is disrupted, exocytosis is affected and inhibited.

Capturing Vesicles Mid-Fusion
John Heuser and Tom Reese (1973)
Studies have found that vesicular exocytosis involves the formation of a temporary fusion pore. These pores span the membrane of both the vesicle and the plasma membranes and help to complete the fusion of the vesicle and cell membranes. Materials in a vesicle can also be released through these pores before the vesicle experiences full fusion with the membrane.

Specializations Associated with Vesicles
SNARE proteins
Mutations in these proteins cause alterations in synaptic release
? Low-calcium solutions slow the rate of neurotransmitter
Ribbon synapses
Electron Microscopy (EM) is a technique used to obtain high resolution images of biological and non-biological specimens. Researchers use this method to observe cells and their complex structures, utilizing electrons as the source of illumination to produce these detailed images. During studies of vesicles, observations made with EM provides direct evidence of vesicular exocytosis, as it shows detailed visualization of vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing its contents into the extracellular space.

Radioactive Labeling
Researchers have used labeling techniques, specifically radioactive labeling, to trace the release of molecules during exocytosis. When using this type of imaging technique, researchers can see the tagged neurotransmitters moving between the inside of the vesicle space to the outside extracellular space. Further studies using fluorescent and radioactive tagging allows for real-time observation of both vesicle movement and fusion with the plasma membrane.
Electrochemical Measurements
Electrochemical measurements, specifically amperometry, have been used to study vesicular movement and exocytosis. Amperometry measures the electrical currents that are generated when neurotransmitters are released from vesicles during exocytosis. The measurement of these currents is found by using a carbon fiber electrode in a solution. It applies a constant potential to collect data on changes in electrical currents in a cell.
