Transmitter Release by Presynaptic Impulses in the Squid Stellate Ganglion

Abstract

In spite of phylogenetic differences, the vertebrate (frog) myoneural junction and the giant synapse in the squid stellate ganglion have similar characteristics of transmitter release. In this article I report quantitative data on this similarity, on the roles of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺, and the dependence on temperature.
