Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Sara et al. find that spontaneously released miniature synaptic potentials arise from a pool of vesicles distinct from those released by neural activity. This modification of a basic tenet of the quantal hypothesis has important implications for the analysis of changes in synaptic transmission.
