Brief description Plethora of diseases of the nervous system are caused by defects in vesicular trafficking including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. I will explore the mechanisms underpinning synaptic vesicular trafficking using novel super resolution techniques and reveal the how secretory vesicles traffic to the plasma membrane, undergo exocytosis, and recycle. I will also explain how in the crowded environment of the presynaptic terminals, retrograde cargoes are transported back to the cell body thereby carrying survival signals.
