Upon exocytosis, fused vesicles must be retrieved for recycling. One route of retrieval is to generate endosome-like structures, from which small vesicles bud off. Endosome-like structures are widely thought to be generated slowly (approximate to 1 min) from the plasma membrane, a process called bulk endocytosis. Although the concept of bulk endocytosis seems established, the kinetic evidence showing the instant of the bulk membrane fission at synapses is still missing. The present work provides this missing piece of evidence at a calyx-type synapse. We used the capacitance measurement technique, which offers a high time resolution (approximate to 1 ms)to resolve the fission process. The instant of bulk membrane fission was reflected as a brief downward capacitance shift (DCS) of approximate to 20-500 fF (mean = 123 fF) with 10-90% decay time of approximate to 30-500 ms. At least 8.6-11.0% of exocytosed vesicles were retrieved by DCSs. During a DCS, the decrease in the fission pore conductance was detected, from which we found that the fission pore diameter decreased at approximate to 39 nm/s. This provided the measurement of the rate of fission during bulk endocytosis at synapses. The DCS frequency peaked (approximate to 0.021 Hz) in
