Structure and function of a neocortical synapse

Nature, Published online: 13 January 2021; doi:10.1038/s41586-020-03134-2

Electrophysiology combined with correlated light and electron microscopy confirms the long-standing assumption that the size of a synapse is proportional to its strength, and reveals that neocortical synapses may have greater computational capacity than thought.
