Membrane trafficking of post-synaptic cargo is a key determinant of synaptic
transmission and synaptic plasticity. We describe here the latest developments
in visualizing individual exocytosis and endocytosis events in neurons using
pH-sensitive tags. We show how these tools help decipher the spatial and
temporal regulation of membrane trafficking steps during synaptic plasticity.
