P.60 right column 2nd paragraph: "Calyx of Held presynaptic terminal: The total number of vesicles at this synapse in the rat (Fig. 5) was estimated in a recent electron microscopy study [primary source 50] to be at least 70,000 quanta. A higher estimate — approx 188,000 vesicles — was obtained in another study [primary source 21 p.10166 left column 8th paragraph]." Primary source 21 gives value of 188,000±8000 (SEM) synaptic vesicles [SVs] |
