Caption

High speed video of cultured neurons expressing iGluSnFR3 (100 Hz, measured on a simple widefield microscope). Neurons have been silenced with TTX, blocking evoked glutamate release. The flashes are iGluSnFR3 responding to spontaneous release of individual vesicles, on average containing just 500 molecules of glutamate
