Hey guys
I've a quick question. As an action potential propogates down an axon, as it reaches the end of an axon it causes calcium influx into the terminal end of the axon. This calcium helps the vesicles move towards the pre-synaptic membrane so that they can release neurotransmitters. My question is how does the influx of calcium influence the vesicles to move towards the membrane?
Thank you :-)
