Exocytosis unbound.
The accepted theory of vesicular release of neurotransmitter posits that only a single vesicle per synapse can fuse with the membrane following action potential invasion, and this exocytotic event is limited to the ultrastructurally defined presynaptic active zone. Neither of these dictums is universally true. At certain synapses, more than a single vesicle can be released per action potential,...

The data generated from some...
