Newest firstSynaptic transmission is dynamically regulated by neuromodulators. One well-studied example is cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R)-mediated suppression of neurotransmitter release by reducing presynaptic Ca2+ influx. Recently, GPR55 was shown to regulate transmitter release through a mechanism distinct from that of CB1R. However, the presynaptic role of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) remains unclear. Here we st…
Open article record in new tab ↗This review article deals with the mechanisms of extrasynaptic release of transmitter substances, namely the release from the soma, axon and dendrites in the absence of postsynaptic counterparts. Extrasynaptic release occurs by exocytosis or diffusion. Spillover from the synaptic cleft also contributes to extrasynaptic neurotransmission. Here, we first describe two well-known examples of exocytosis from the neuron…
