| p1 | Release probability after a single isolated spike |
| μa | Mean voltage response to neurotransmitter from a single vesicle (mV) |
| σa | Standard deviation of voltage response distribution to neurotransmitter contained in a single vesicle (mV) |
| σb | Standard deviation in postsynaptic voltage trace due to background noise (mV) |
| τI0 | Initial recovery timescale from RID (s) |
| τI1 | Recovery timescale from RID after a single isolated pulse (s) |
| ςI | Decay timescale of FDR (s) |
| u | Dynamic release probability |
