Climbing a long ladder to the Nobel one small step at a time, Südhof continually raised the power of his conceptual microscope over the decades as he probed the intricate workings of synapses: the all-important junctions in the nervous system where information, in the form of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, gets passed from one nerve cell to another.
Chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released from one neuron, and travel across the synapse to trigger a response in the neighbouring cell.
This extracellular messenger is able to mediate Ca2+ wave propagation directly or via the transfer of a messenger which triggers ATP release from one cell to another [129].
