Synaptic transmission: Separating transmission modes

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 5 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.176 Author: Katherine Whalley The extent to which spontaneous and evoked neurotransmission are spatially segregated within a synapse is unclear. Using a fluorescent calcium indicator to visualize activity in individual synapses, the authors found that most synapses in dissociated hippocampal cultures exhibit both spontaneous and evoked neurotransmission; however, unique
