Synaptic vesicle (SV) release probability (<i>P</i><sub><i>r</i></sub>) is a key presynaptic determinant of synaptic strength established by cell-intrinsic properties and further refined by plasticity. To characterize mechanisms that generate <i>P</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> heterogeneity between distinct neuronal populations, we examined glutamatergic tonic (Ib) and phasic (Is) motoneurons in <i>Drosophila</i> with stereotyped differences in <i>P</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> and synaptic plasticity. We fo ...[more]
