Annotated paper:Atasoy D, et al. "Deletion of CASK in mice is lethal and impairs synaptic function" Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007 Feb 13;104(7):2525-30 PMID:17287346
Figure(s):Fig 4
Annotation description:Loss of the scaffold protein CASK increases the frequency of spontaneous excitatory release events, while spontaneous inhibitory release events are decreased. CASK loss does not affect evoked release.
