  • Summary of the results obtained with and without weighting as well as with the two different trend corrections. Trend correction 1 corresponds to subtraction of a trend function obtained by low-pass filtering of the data, and correction 2 used subtraction of a double-exponential fit. The average number of synaptic vesicles involved in a fusion event (μ), was calculated according to μ = (Capp/Csv + 1)/2. corr., Correction.
