P.38 right column 2nd paragraph:"Using experimental data, [researchers] estimate that the
costs of neurotransmitter uptake and vesicle refilling total less
than 10% of the postsynaptic current (see Methods). Estimates
of presynaptic calcium flux vary from 200 to 1.3×10^4
ions per
vesicle discharged
