A single vesicle desensitizes a small fraction of synaptic AMPA receptors. Simulated synaptic paired-pulse experiment, showing the amplitudes of synaptic responses to successive vesicle liberations separated by 10, 20, 50, and 100 msec. The peak effect of desensitization causes a 15% reduction in synaptic AMPA receptorPopen for the second vesicle.
