nervous system
• the ESPC amplitudes of mutant neurons were smaller than controls during repetitive stimulation; facilitation of the response was seen at various frequencies whereas synaptic depression was seen in controls
|
• the fast, synchronous, Ca2+ dependent phase of neurotransmitter release is affected, while the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters is unaffected
• the Ca2+ dependent synaptic release probability was decreased two-fold, but was not due to a decrease in the readily releasable pool of neurotransmitters
