  Fast resupply of synaptic vesicles requires synaptotagmin-3

  Synaptotagmin-3 is identified as the presynaptic high-affinity calcium sensor to rapidly replenish synaptic vesicles to maintain steady synaptic transmission.

  Synaptotagmin 7 confers frequency invariance onto specialized depressing synapses

  The calcium-sensing protein synaptotagmin 7 mediates facilitation that is masked by depression, but supports frequency-invariant transmission in mouse cerebellar and vestibular synapses.

  The calcium sensor synaptotagmin 7 is required for synaptic facilitation

  Synaptotagmin 7 is shown to be essential for synaptic facilitation at a variety of central synapses, and the results pave the way for future functional studies of short-term synaptic plasticity, a fundamental form of neuronal computation.
