Is there any experimental data for the amount of energy transfer involved in registration of a bit of information at synapse?

Is there any experimental data for the amount of energy transfer involved in bit storage and bit release (erasure)?

Juan Fernando Gomez-Molina

As far as I know, there is no general agreement about what "a bit of information at synapse" means ... the synapse is probably one memory site, but the amount of memory of it can be measured in many ways (receptors, vesicles, neurotransmitters, spikes), all of them still controversial and incomplete.
