Average miniature post-synaptic potential size is inversely proportional to membrane capacitance across neocortical pyramidal neurons of different sizes

In chemical synapses of the central nervous system (CNS), information is transmitted via the presynaptic release of a vesicle (or ‘quantum’) of neurotransmitter, which elicits a postsynaptic electrical response with an amplitude termed the ‘quantal size.’ Measuring amplitudes of miniature postsynapt...
