title: Mechanisms of slow postsynaptic potentials.
abstract: Classical views of synaptic transmission have to be modified to take account of slow postsynaptic potentials (p.s.ps), which are often mediated by novel ionic and molecular mechanisms and which are sometimes evoked by neuropeptides. Understanding slow p.s.ps will provide insights into the mechanisms of biological signal transduction and long-term signalling in the nervous system.
