  • Nobel Prize winner reports new model for neurotransmitter release
    In a Neuron article published online Oct. 10, recent Nobel Laureate Thomas C. Südhof challenges long-standing ideas on how neurotransmitter gets released at neuronal synapses. On Oct. 7, Suedhof won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, alongside James Rothman and Randy Schekman, for related work on how vesicles -- such as those in neurons that contain neurotransmitter -- are transported ...
