There is a longstanding controversy on the identity of synaptic vesicles
undergoing spontaneous versus evoked release. A recent study, introducing a new
genetic probe, suggested that spontaneous release is driven by a resting pool of
synaptic vesicles refractory to stimulation. We found that cross-depletion of
spontaneously or actively recycling synaptic vesicle pools occurred on
stimulation in rat hippocampal neurons and identified the recycling pool as a
major source of spontaneous release.
