title: Increased postsynaptic Ca2+reduces mini frequency at the Drosophila larval NMJ.
abstract: Repetitive stimulation of the Drosophila larval NMJ can produce a reduction in the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents. By buffering postsynaptic Ca2+, it was shown that the decrease in "mini" frequency was due to an increase in postsynaptic Ca2+.
