Vesicle recycling in the presynaptic terminal (IMAGE)
Caption
Vesicle recycling in the presynaptic terminal at one end of a neuron, showing the role of dynamin during the last step of endocytosis (membrane retrieval), where the protein cuts off the vesicle from the cell membrane. The vesicle is then filled with neurotransmitters and transported back to the release site of cell membrane, where the neurotransmitters are released, and the vesicle is recycled.
