Diversification Of Synaptic Strength: Presynaptic
 Elements, Nature Reviews Neuroscience
 









Excerpts: Synapses are not static; their performance is
	modified adaptively in response to activity. Presynaptic mechanisms that
	affect the probability of transmitter release (...) are important in synaptic
 diversification. Here, we address the diversity of presynaptic performance and
	its underlying mechanisms: how much of the variation can be accounted for by
	variation in synaptic morphology and how much by molecular differences?
 Significant progress has been made in defining presynaptic structural
 contributions to synaptic strength; by contrast, we know little about how
 presynaptic proteins produce normally observed functional differentiation
 (...).
