Slow release of transmitter at the squid giant synapse

The giant synapse of the squid was tested with small amplitude, long-lasting depolarizations applied to the presynaptic terminal. The presynaptic potential at which transmitter release could be detected was only a few millivolts more positive than the resting potential, and much less positive than t...

Zusammenfassung:The giant synapse of the squid was tested with small amplitude, long-lasting depolarizations applied to the presynaptic terminal. The presynaptic potential at which transmitter release could be detected was only a few millivolts more positive than the resting potential, and much less positive than the ‘threshold’ for transmitter release by a brief (
