@type:: https://openminds.ebrains.eu/controlledTerms/SubcellularEntity
definition:: A ‘synaptic vesicle’ is a secretory organelle (~ 50 nm in diameter) released from the pre-synaptic nerve terminal. It accumulates high concentrations of neurotransmitters and secretes these into the synaptic cleft by fusion with the ‘active zone’ of the pre-synaptic plasma membrane (modified from Gene Ontology).
