Comment on "The Dynamic Control of Kiss-and-Run and Vesicular Reuse Probed with Single Nanoparticles" : in Science(ISSN 0036-8075) vol 325, issue 5947, pp 1499

• Zhang et al. (Research Articles, 13 March 2009, p. 1448) reported that synaptic vesicles usually release neurotransmitter through a kiss-and-run mechanism occurring within 1 second but that full collapse of the vesicles becomes more prevalent with repeated stimuli. We report that the kinetics of vesicle retrieval do not change during a stimulus train, with endocytosis occurring in 10 to 15 seconds.
