a(MESH:"Presynaptic Terminals")
The ‘‘volume transmission’’ hypothesis states that ACh released from presynaptic terminals spreads to more distant areas, reaching concentrations < 1 mM (Descarries et al., 1997), but that multiple presynaptic impulses produce enough summed release to activate receptors (Lester, 2004) PubMed:21482353
The axons of transfected neurons (Fig. 1 G and I) clearly reveal small inclusions of Tau (∼1 μm in size, arrowheads), although presynaptic boutons (e.g., giant mossy fiber boutons) are only marginally stained for Tau (Fig. 1I and Fig. S2 A and B; arrow), indicating that Tau does not accumulate at presynaptic boutons in these slices PubMed:27671637
