Acetylcholine Changes During Transmission of a Single Nerve Impulse

  • Chapter
Cholinergic Mechanisms

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 25))

Abstract

Transmission of nerve impulses at cholinergic synapses takes place in a matter of milliseconds. This extreme rapidity has made the investigation of synaptic mechanisms by means of biochemical methods very difficult. The present study is an attempt to overcome this difficulty by looking for correlations between the electrophysiological and the biochemical analysis of transmission. All experiments were carried out on the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata.
