---|---|
Synonyms: | activity-dependent bulk endocytosis, activity-dependent bulk synaptic vesicle endocytosis, ADBE, bulk endocytosis |
Definition: | Endocytosis of large regions of presynaptic membrane after intense stimulation-mediated fusion of multiple synaptic vesicles. Bulk endocytosis is triggered by high loads of membrane addition through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles and elevated concentration of calcium in the presynapse. |
