Synaptic and somatic serotonin release: By combining optical and electrophysiological measurements of secretion with electron microscopy and electrophysiological recordings from synapses formed in culture, we analyze the frequency dependence of somatic and synaptic serotonin secretion from celar adn dense core vesicles. We are also interested in the role of intracellular calcium pools on each secretion mode.
