The system is anatomically more complex than commonly thought - DOH,
the more we learn, the less we realize we understand.
However, it's a little unclear why the author of the article chose to
use the word "chaotic". More conflation of ideas, I think.

I was interested in this because of concepts like "volume transmission"(in
that regard the dynamics of nitric oxide is very interesting) and some
material I had read a few years stating the existence of glutamate receptors
on axons. The question is whether or not these axonal synapses and vesicles
actually contribute towards function or are just "leftovers" from
developmental processes.
Thanks for the references Joe.
