      abstract = {Chemical neurotransmission is the major form of  communication between neurons and is essential for CNS  function. Glutamate is an excitatory fast-acting  neurotransmitter that mediates inter-neuronal  communication. Evoked and spontaneous release of  neurotransmitters are proposed to have distinct roles and  rely on divergent vesicle pools and receptors. Moreover,  changes in extracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]o) are shown to  differentially affect the probability of release for each  mechanism. Ca2+ entry via voltage-gated calcium channels  (VGCCs) is responsible for evoked release however the same  pathway does not contribute to spontaneous release. How  does extracellular [Ca2+]o stimulate spontaneous release?},
