Abstract(in English) Retinal bipolar cells evoke graded photoresponses, which regulate the transmitter release. Here, we constructed a mathematical model of the Ca^<2+> and transmitter release coupling based on electrophysiological data that have been reported. This model could simulate the voltage and Ca^<2+> dependence of transmitter release. We also examined the relationship between the phasic and tonic components of photoresponses and the transmitter release. The phasic component of photoresponses triggered the fast component of release, whereas the tonic component caused the sustained release supported by the vesicle supply from the reservoir pool.
