P.242 left column top paragraph:"Recycling of synaptic vesicle membrane and proteins is required to keep membrane surface area constant and ensure efficient neurotransmission during sustained synaptic activity. Classical ultrastructural analysis of frog neuromuscular junctions led to two models of endocytosis. A slow endocytic pathway that takes place distant from active zones via clathrin scaffolds ~20 s after exocytosis was proposed [primary source 1]. A fast mechanism, now termed kiss-and-run, that retrieves fusing vesicles by reversing their neck was then suggested [refs 2,3]—a process that takes place within 1 s [primary sources 4, 5, 6]. Since then, many studies have focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms and the kinetics of endocytosis to distinguish these two models. However, conflicting evidence has accumulated over the past 40 years."
