Neuromuscular synapse: stochastic properties of spontaneous release of transmitter

S Rotshenker et al. Science. .

Abstract

The spontaneous quantal release of transmitter from the motor nerve endings is a random process which follows the Poisson theorem; the liberation of each quantum is independent of the release of previous quanta. Increase in the extracellular calcium concentration produces a statistical interdependence in the release of the spontaneously appearing packages.
