Summary of structural parameters relevant for release that have been extracted from the detailed 3D-reconstructions. For the RRP and RP, two values are given: the total number of synaptic vesicles per MFB and per individual AZ. For the reserve pool, the number of synaptic vesicles per bouton is given (modified from table 1 in Rollenhagen et al., 2007a).
