The problem is not merely academic. "The number of immediately releasable vesicles at a synapse determines its reliability," explains Brose. "If there are too few and they are replenished too slowly, the corresponding synapse becomes tired very quickly in conditions of repeated activation. The opposite applies when a synapse can quickly top up its immediately available vesicles under pressure. In fact, such a synapse may even improve with constant activation."
