Abstract: | QUANTAL release of acetylcholine from vesicles in the presynaptic terminals of neuromuscular synapses is well established1–3, even if some doubts persist4. The mechanism by which acetylcholine (or any other transmitter at other synapses) is transferred from the vesicles into the synaptic gap, however, is unknown. A calcium influx into the terminal is associated with release of transmitter5, as is an electrical field change6. |
