The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

α-Neurexins couple Ca2+ channels to synaptic vesicle exocytosis (2003, unknown): “For example, the probability of neurotransmitter release and the magnitude of short-term plasticity differ among synapse”
Physiology of Astroglia. (2018, unknown): “In the cerebellum, complex appendages emanating from the processes of Bergmann glial cells (FIGURE 30) cover almost 90% of synapses formed by climbing fibers and ~65% of synapses formed by parallel fibers on the Purkinje neuron (609, 1903).”
The synaptic vesicle cycle. (2004, unknown): “…cortical, or hippocampal synapses where vesicle clusters usually include >200 vesicles, and where more than 8–10 docked vesicles per active zone are generally reported (Harris et al. 1992, Schikorski & Stevens 2001, Xu-Friedman et al. 2001), the calyx thus contains fewer docked and free vesicles.”
LETTER TO NEUROSCIENCE DIFFERENTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF VESICULAR GLUTAMATE TRANSPORTERS IN THE RAT CEREBELLAR CORTEX (2003, background): “In the cerebellar cortex, no significant differences in synaptic structures, such as the number of docked vesicles per release site and postsynaptic density size, were found between climbing-fiber and parallel-fiber terminals (Xu-Friedman et al., 2001).”
