At chemical synapses, voltage-activated calcium channels (VACCs) mediate Ca 2+ influx to trigger action potential-evoked neurotransmitter release. However, the mechanisms by which regulates spontaneous transmission have not been fully determined. We shown that VACCs are a major of release at neocortical inhibitory synapses but excitatory suggesting fundamental differences in neurotransmission GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses. Recently, VACC blockers were reported reduce glutamate it was...
