Abstract
There seems little doubt that transmitter release from nerve terminals is quantized. The parameters n and p must be considered to be just as "real" as the directly measurable quantity m. Further studies concerning the synthesis, storage, and release of synaptic transmitter substances must ultimately be related to these parameters if they are to have specific meaning within the framework of the quantum hypothesis.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
