## Abstract The mossy fiber pathway has long been considered to provide the major source of excitatory input to pyramidal cells of hippocampal area CA3. In this review we describe anatomical and physiological properties of this pathway that challenge this view. We argue that the mossy fiber pathway

## Abstract Although adenosine has been considered to depress release of neurotransmitter in central synapses, evidence for this notion is circumstantial. To obtain more direct and quantitative evidence, the suppressing action of adenosine on transmission through the mossy fiber synapse was examine
## Abstract Vesicular zinc (Zn^2+^) is found in a subset of glutamatergic nerve terminals throughout the mammalian forebrain and is colocalized with glutamate. Despite wellβdocumented neuromodulatory roles, exocytosis of endogenous Zn^2+^ from presynaptic terminals has never been directly demonstra
The functional role of the abundant Zn 2Ο© found in some hippocampal synapses has been an enigma. We show here, using N-[6-methoxy-8-quinolyl]-P-toluenesulfonamide (TSQ) staining, that chelatable-Zn 2Ο© can be removed from hippocampal synaptic boutons using dietary depletion or with Zn 2Ο© chelators.
