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
