title: Effects of 4-aminopyridine on statistical parameters of transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction.
abstract: 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) potentiates transmitter release from motor nerve terminals by increasing the quantum content (m) of endplate potentials. Estimates of the binomial parameters of transmitter release shows that 4-AP enhances m by increasing n and not p.
