What event triggers the release of neurotransmitters? Calcium induces the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. Sodium induces the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. Potassium induces the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. Calcium activates enzymes that degrade synaptic vesicles. Sodium activates enzymes that degrade synaptic vesicles.
