Central Synapses Release a Resource-Efficient Amount of Glutamate
Why synapses release a certain amount of neurotransmitter is poorly understood. Here we combine patch-clamp electrophysiology with computer simulations to estimate how much glutamate is discharged at two distinct central synapses of the rat. We find that, regardless of some uncertainty over synaptic...
