Extended Data Figure 1: A schematic summarizing ultrafast endocytosis.

From: Ultrafast endocytosis at mouse hippocampal synapses

Extended Data Figure 1

Exocytosis in the active zone is followed by rapid internalization of membrane at the edge of the active zone. Synaptic vesicles directly in contact with plasma membrane fuse about 2 ms after an action potential and collapse into membrane. Ultrafast endocytosis occurs at the edge of active zone within 100 ms after stimulation and is mediated by actin and dynamin. The endocytic structures are larger than synaptic vesicles. AZ, active zone; PSD, postsynaptic density.
