  • Title: Relationship between presynaptic calcium current and postsynaptic potential in squid giant synapse.
    Author: Llinás R, Steinberg IZ, Walton K.
    Journal: Biophys J; 1981 Mar; 33(3):323-51. PubMed ID: 6261850.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between calcium current and transmitter release was studied in squid giant synapse. It was found that the voltage-dependent calcium current triggers the release of synaptic transmitter in direct proportion to its magnitude and duration. Transmitter release occurs with a delay of approximately 200 mus after the influx of calcium. A model is presented which describes these relations formally.
