Long-term plasticity determines the postsynaptic response to correlated afferents with multivesicular short-term synaptic depression

Synchrony in a presynaptic population leads to correlations in vesicle occupancy at the active sites for neurotransmitter release. The number of independent release sites per presynaptic neuron, a synaptic parameter recently shown to be modifed during long-term plasticity, will modulate these correl...
