P.61 left column top paragraph: "Goldfish retinal bipolar nerve terminals. Estimates from electron microscopy place the total pool of synaptic vesicles in the goldfish retinal bipolar nerve terminal (Fig. 6) at around 700,000 quanta (~500,000 or 900,000 quanta in a small and a large nerve terminal, respectively [primary source] see Ref. 72 for a lower estimate), consistent with styryl dye imaging experiments [refs 73, 74]." |
