Nature, 1995•nature.comThe synaptic vesicle cycle at the nerve terminal consists of vesicle exocytosis with neuro-
transmitter release, endocytosis of empty vesicles, and regeneration of fresh vesicles. Of all
cellular transport pathways, the synaptic vesicle cycle is the fastest and the most tightly
regulated. A convergence of results now allows formulation of molecular models for key
steps of the cycle. These developments may form the basis for a mechanistic understanding
of higher neural function.

Abstract
The synaptic vesicle cycle at the nerve terminal consists of vesicle exocytosis with neuro-transmitter release, endocytosis of empty vesicles, and regeneration of fresh vesicles. Of all cellular transport pathways, the synaptic vesicle cycle is the fastest and the most tightly regulated. A convergence of results now allows formulation of molecular models for key steps of the cycle. These developments may form the basis for a mechanistic understanding of higher neural function.
